How to disable warning 'iCloud Storage is full' on a Mac? It always pops out every boot.

My iPhone backups were consuming my 5GB of iCloud space. I backup my iPhone on my Mac now and only use iCloud for Contacts, Reminders, Notes and Keychain. Showing ~4GB available and the space alerts have now stopped.

On the iPhone: Settings>General>Storage & iCloud Usage>[ICLOUD]Manage Storage----> turn off iPhone backup to iCloud

Hope this helps someone. Obviously create a backup locally if you typically backup to the cloud. ymmv and all that. . . 🙂

Greetings woochan11,

Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care,

I DON'T want to manage my icloud. I don't want to buy anything or delete anything. I want a way to turn off the pop up forever! What is the solution to that?

Sign out of iCloud.

Hello,

I'm having this issue too, but have plenty of space in my account (5GB or 20 used having upgraded earlier in the week). Is there a way to stop these popups when booting up, it's driving me up the wall!

Thanks

I have the same problem. I have 35 of 50 gb free and I get this pop up EVERY time I restart.

I also get this message constantly while I'm working on OS X Yosemite on my Macbook Air and it's extremely disruptive as it forces you to deal with it, no matter what else you might be doing. I have been working for the last two hours and it has come up three or four times.

Of course I would love everything backed up and whatever, but I am definitely NOT going to pay for storage. I have my important stuff in other places so it's not the end of the world, even though it would be nice to have everything in iCloud to conveniently fall into place in a new machine should that be necessary. ARGH it just came up again as I was typing this.

Anyway, point being there doesn't seem to be an answer yet on how to stop this message constantly popping up. I don't mind reminders appearing in the top right hand corner and politely disappearing but this aggressive message constantly appearing above my actual work has to stop. Does anyone have any solutions?

Same here.. anyone find a solution yet?!

I think I found a solution.

1) Manage your iCloud storage so you have at least 1GB free.

2) Sign out of iCloud.

3) Sign back in

4) Restart.

The message didn't appear again for me.

Cheers!

I Have the pop up every 10 seconds. I have signed out, changed my pw, signed in and still get the annoying pop up. I even deleted a bunch of pictures. That is the only file that has anything in it. I only get the pop up on my laptop.

DOes anyone know know a way to turn it off?

I tried doing this and it has deleted everything on my desktop. This is a significantly larger hassel I was not keen to deal with. Please proceed with care.

What on earth did you do to delete all of your local files?

So is this message not posible to deactivate so you are forced to buy space again form apple? Quite disappointing Apple.

I bought more storage and it's still popping up!! And so far only on my MacBook.

Frustrating! I almost thought my laptop is hacked..
