Now I need to download all back to my Mac and I'm not sure what happened to files that were not fully uploaded because the storage was full.

SystemSettings -> Your Name -> iCloud
Turn off Desktop & Documents folders.
I'm a long time Mac user and I still cannot figure out iCloud. I wound up having to re-download my desktop and documents, then deleting the iCloud drive. I don't want automatic anything messing around with my desktop and documents. A friend recently bought a new MacBook Air and it showed that the default 50GB cloud space was already full and told him he needed to to buy more space - not accidental I think.
The files remain on your Mac, unless you elected to optimize storage.
I feel the same way, it's intentional to sell more storage. As these machines are used professionally this is only hurting Apple. I don't want all of a sudden to see my documents and desktop folders gone.
Yes but all my files were already in the cloud when I turned on my Mac and they don't come back automatically.
Why is Apple automatically uploading 50GB of Documents and Desktop to iCloud without prompting?
