Why, when I'm trying to compress something, have I had something like this for an hour? Regardless of the size?
Currently, the space on the physical disk has run out to 10GB, and yesterday it was I don't know 16GB, it's also puzzling what the **** is with this place. :D
Maybe iCloud is a function that should not be used because it does not completely work?
I have no idea how to control it. I use CCleaner and it shows me large files, etc., and it actually happened that a program generated a huge docker file, but I fixed it, I have no ideas where 50GB is from, what is it. Shouldn't this iCloud storage work so that I decide what to put in there? I don't really know who designed it, but it's the worst system feature I know.
When I was using Windows, I didn't have such cosmic problems. I would not like to go back to Windows, because I am happy with some things. Besides, I already have Macs etc. I would have to invest in new equipment. But I'm on the verge of patience.
Does anyone understand how iCloud drive storage works? Why is he showing me 48GB of documents when there are 15GB of them?
How this feature works is some kind of misunderstanding, really annoying, also sync problems, sometimes you get stuck and you can't delete file or move it, it takes a million years, who designed it?
You have optimize storage turned on. So, it shows that you have 4 files on your computer taking 15 GB. The other files are likely moved online only. You need more space or you need to delete items. Visit iCloud.com to review all files
Log in at iCloud.com. You'll find all of your documents there. Other Documents is simply any document that you have synced in iCloud.
Again, you have optimize Mac selected. Your largest/oldest files are offloaded from your Mac, should you need space, and kept in iCloud only. Hence the size difference between your computer and iCloud.
iCloud is a synchronization service, not offline storage. Any file on your computer is also in iCloud and synced accordingly. The compression issue may be because you are out of space on your computer or you are attempting to compress a non-local file.
If it worked as you say it would be a completely nonsensical function. Synchronization was without iCloud storage etc. it seems that it is not necessary, two computers in one network are enough to synchronize, because why not, it's just a matter of software, no cloud is needed for this, etc.
Of course, optimization can work here on the principle that files that are frequently opened and changed are stored on the physical disk, if possible.
I removed something that was brewing 8GB and it freed me over 16GB, it looks to show that it's occupied twice as much as it actually is.
Looks like you need to upgrade your iCloud space to 200 GB or clear files from iCloud.
How can I check what exactly is in this Other Documents?
iCloud Drive/Documents size 11-15GB.
Desktop size 32MB.
Can anyone help?
Shows you that files from iCloud are 15GB, where from 50GB used??
edit:
Such smart answers are recommended by apple? :D
