I have never used iCloud and have no interest in doing so now. I have a new MacBook Pro and apparently all files are automatically uploaded to iCloud and when it's full I'm told I have to buy more space. No I don't. I can still open grayed files, but I don't want them to be gray with an "out of storage" text under them.

Hello Roman_Bailey,
If you enabled the Desktop and Documents in iCloud and now want to turn it off so all of your items are stored directly on the computers hard drive, you can do so with these steps:
1. From your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings. In macOS Monterey or earlier, choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
2. Click Apple ID, then click iCloud.
3. Next to iCloud Drive, click Options.
4. Deselect Desktop & Documents Folders.
5. Click Done.
Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive
Cheers!

Thank you! Much appreciated.
I don't want to use iCloud. iCloud says storage is full. How do I avoid this and ungray my files?
