Q: iCloud to get more free space
Hi!
I'm desperately trying to free up some space on my MacBook and signed up for extra storage on the cloud. But I found myself facing several problems that are starting to drive me crazy:
- A LOT of errors happen during the downloading of the file on iCould drive. Example from today: 900 files not copied. And nothing was wrong with those files! This is huge, ok. Usually, it's more like 5-6, but it's super annoying because I have to check one by one the files and add them manually (when you only have -50 files, it's ok, but a few thousands?)...
- The worst: every time I add something on the cloud, my Macbook storage space gets smaller. After a few researches, I understood that iClou was making doubles of every single files that it downloads. So the question is: how can I delete these copies?
- When I add something on iCloud Drive via the Finder, I don't find them online (icloud.com). So are the files in this folder the copies that are bothering me so much? Or is it a problem of synchronisation?
I'm lost
Thank you in advance for anyone who can save us, my mental health and me.
