I activated iCloud Drive on my iMac. For some reason this moved all of the files in my Documents Folder and on my Desktop to the iDrive. I did not want these files moved to the iCloud Drive. How can I move those folders and documents back to my iMac?
iMac, OS X 10.11
See the following from Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive - Apple Support
Turn off Desktop and Documents
What happens when you turn off Desktop and Documents
When you turn off Desktop & Documents Folders, your files stay in iCloud Drive and a new Desktop and Documents folder is created on your Mac in the home folder. You can move files from iCloud Drive to your Mac as you need them, or select all of your files and drag them to the place you want to keep them.
