Photos consuming iCloud storage space in iPad and MacBook So I didn’t have upgraded iCloud storage and as soon as I upgraded the storage my gallery photos took all my space in my ipad and my MacBook because it synced. Now I don’t know what to do. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Not enough local storage for Photos syncing with iCloud on Macbook I seem to repeatedly run into issues on my MacBook with the Photos app indicating that "Syncing with iCloud Paused" due to "Not Enough Local Storage". I have optimized storage of photos on all my devices. On my MacBook, my ~7000 photos take up about 2GB of storage. I have only used 45 of 200GB iCloud storage. I have ~14 GB of unused storage on my computer. I went through and deleted a couple hundred old photos the other day and then removed them from the recently deleted folder. That helped for a bit. But after a few more photos were taken over the last couple days, on returning home today and opening my computer, I got the message again. I see many people are running into this (on Apple Community forums). I am using macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 on my MacBook. I have no problem with this on iPad or iPhones, and they have less drive size/space than the MacBook. I have no problems with other apps, etc syncing on iCloud. My questions: Why is this happening on my MacBook? What can I do to rectify it? (I have already provided this feedback to Apple on the product feedback site.) Thanks in advance for your insights and support.

Optimize Mac Storage not working properly for Photos I recently decided to switch to only using iCloud for my photos, I was previously using Google Photos. Now I have 214GB of photos in my Photo Library. I have the "Optimize Mac Storage" setting enabled, yet it is NOT optimizing the size of the photos on my MacBook. I have this same setting enabled on my iPhone, and it works for that, but not my MacBook. I am unable to download anything to my MacBook due to the disk being full. Can anyone please suggest a solution for getting this setting to work better? Thanks!

And 7gb is not a lot of space. Your Mac needs about 10 gigs of space for normal OS operations. This includes things like caches, temporary files and other internal machinations. You need to make space on that Mac or you risk data corruption.

Thanks for the reply.

Optimise Photos gave me nearly 40gb more storage and photos now uploaded to Mac. Thanks
