how to keep my files on IMac from my iPhone, but allow all other data to be available there
how can I hold back only documents,
files on my IMAC and allow all other data/photos to be available on my iPhone
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16
You could disable iCloud Drive on both devices and enable iCloud Library on both devices. That would keep the contents of your Documents and Desktop folders off the iPhone and just have your photos on both.
What "other data" are you referring to?
