Pause iCloud Desktop Sync

The Reason for the TOPIC : Enough is enough.


The Problem :

I'm using and paying for iCloud storage on more than 5 accounts. I'm syncing my iMac and MacBook Pro continuously. Sometimes, there is a slow internet connection in my house or my work or somewhere else. When the internet connection speed problem occurs, and at the same I might be in need of some internet for sending mail or receiving doesn't matter, then I have problem.


The Need

I NEED TO BE ABLE PAUSE iCloud Desktop SYNC (download or upload) temporarily when I want.


It is good to use same desktop in different computers, and I don't like using dropbox or anything else because I like it this way. Clean and simple. But I need to be able to PAUSE it whenever I want. I can decide if I'm in urgent need of the file being in sync or not. I'm writing this as a feedback for this service to APPLE.


And also, I ask community members to tell me, if there is a nice workaround to this problem for the time being.


There are lots of questions about this issue but not a single clear topic in them.


Thank you.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 10.2.1
