How to stop syncing Desktop and Documents on iCloud?
My iCloud Drive is full. macOS Mojave (10.14.6) and I am trying to remove Documents and Desktop from my iCloud drive and put them on my macbook drive.
I went to Preferences>iCloud Drive>Options and unchecked "Desktop and Documents Folders."
The alert says "If you continue, items will be removed from the Desktop and the Documents folder on this Mac and will remain available in iCloud Drive."
That's not what I want. I want to stop syncing Desktop and Documents. I want the files to remain on the Mac and be deleted on iCloud. I am afraid to follow the directions in fear of losing everything. HELP please anyone.
