I use iCloud Drive with all my Files and folders.
It seems that all Files need to Download ? A Cloud sign appear in every file ...
Any advice will be appreciated to view immediatly without downloading.
Thanks.
Hey rony-z,
Thanks for the additional information.
When you're connected to the internet, you should be able to access your iCloud Drive files without downloading them. If you need to access the files while offline, you would need to download them first.
You can learn more about how to access and use files in iCloud Drive in this article: Access iCloud Drive files from your iPhone and other devices

Hey rony-z,
It sounds like you're looking to download files from iCloud Drive to your Mac. We can understand wanting to look into that further. We want to help.
We'd recommend the steps in this article: Access and manage your files in iCloud Drive
"Work with iCloud Drive files offline
If you're about to go offline, you can download iCloud Drive files locally to work on while you're not connected to the internet.
On your Mac
Thanks!
And it seems that after viewing a file - it was Dowloaded to ...?
Then to undo the Download file I need to click on right mouse to open a pop up menu to choose "Remove Download" ..As seen in the pic :
How can I see where it's been doanload ? I don't want to add more downloaded files or I Do , I want to understand how to manage properly the files.
And last question please : if I download to my Mac all my files in addition to use iCloud Drive , adding or deleting files in my Mac will effect iCloud Drive files also ? ( Prefer that ) ?
Thanks for your reply.
I don't think that I want to download files from iCloud Drive to my Mac.
I want my Mac to be with less files and iCloud Drive with the majority files .
Until now I think that that's the way it was but now I see Cloud Symbol neat all file and when need to view a file , need to open it .
Maybe upgrading to macOS did something.
In addition, Only to fully understand :
When ALL my files (Documents and etc ..) in iCloud Drive only , The "Cloud" symbol appear near all the fils ?
And when I want to open a file , I need to "wait" a few seconds until the file "arrive" from iCloud to be open and view ?
Thanks.
Is there a way to fix iCloud Drive files with a Mac so it will work as needed ?
Thank you for your reply.
