My iCloud storage is saying that my PC is full, which it is not. I have several hard drives, none of which are full, but iCloud has stopped updating my library because it thinks it's full. How do I fix this?

I want my iCloud Photo Library to keep updating but it thinks my pc is full... which it's not. How do I fix this?

Hello Shikage08,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I see that you are concerned about a message from your iCloud saying that storage is full. iCloud doesn't typically monitor the status of the memory on your computer, if you are getting a message from iCloud about storage being full, it is more likely referring to your iCloud storage.

This support article explains how to check and manage your iCloud storage: Manage your iCloud storage

If after reviewing this article you still feel it is referring to the storage on your computer, please post the text of the message you are getting and we can go from there to address the issue.

Best regards.

Welcome to the club, ShikageTerminal 1.


Many people experiencing these problems with Apple's iCloud PhotoLibrary in iCloud for Windows.


I suggest to read this discussion on it: Wasting Disk Space


In the following posting I write about exactly the same issue you have: my PC (C:-drive) suddenly was full! : Re: Re: Re: Wasting Disk Space


Furthermore, I suggest you try the workaround/solution that I posted in the following 'article' : Re: Re: Wasting Disk Space


I assume you encouter the same problems many people experience that are described in the discussion and postings I refer to above. It has now been 2 years since that thread was posted and still... Apple does not offer any solution for it. Remarkable.


Good luck,

Supergrover.


PS: I am thinking of setting up a Blog about this, to get more attention to this flawed system of Apple for Window users.
