I am planning to reset my Macbook Air, erase all data and reinstall OS X.
I have most of my necessary folders on iCloud. I just dragged and dropped them there, on the left side in finder.
I am wondering, when I erase my hard drive, will all these folders disappear and be erased? Or can iCloud be used as an online storage as well, and still keep my files in the cloud?
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
All files would be preserved..
If u'r worried, sign out of icloud before this... then check from website..
I do that with Dropbox, but even if i stayed signed in, all my files are still there...

I suggest you make a backup, using either Time Machine or a clone, on an external hard drive, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate hard drives, before doing the erase and install. Much safer than relying on iCloud.
If i reset my Macbook, will all files delete from iCloud aswell?
