I get the message (ICLOUD) "syncing has been disabled due to an error" when trying to open a file. Trying to open certain files I get the message "The operation couldn’t be completed. No space left on device". In terms of storage I have 48Gb out of 494Gb on HD. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.6

Apple expects your Mac to have at least 10% of the hard drive free. You're at 9.7%, which just doesn't leave the Mac enough room to turn around in. I have found 20% free seems to be better.
You're going to have to clear out some room so you can get things done. I keep important but less used files on a small (1 ounce) SSD that I carry around with my MacBook so that I can have enough free space. I learned in childhood that cleaning my room was painful. It hasn't changed…

Thanks Richard. Problem was solved by a hard reboot of Macbook. I have experienced the issue of limited HD availability when creating iMovie files and use an external HD sometimes but will have to get more structured in my approach. Didn’t know about the 10% rule. Thanks again
