Running Migration Assistant with insufficient space
I have a 27” iMac with 3TB’s of storage. I just bought a new MacBook Air with a 1TB drive. On my iMac because of ICloud Drive, I am using 1.5 TB of storage. I have Files and Docs turned on, which puts my data in iCloud Drive, but keeps a copy on my local machine.
As a result, Migration assistant consistently fails for insufficient space. On iCloud Drive, I have “Optimization” turned on, which will keep data only in the cloud if there is insufficient space. On my source machine, I have plenty of storage so the optimization is not relevant. On the target iMac ideally the optimization would solve the problem, but I have to get the migration done first. Any ideas?
