Turning off iCloud Drive deletes files from Mac?
Thinking iCloud Drive might be a good addition to my safety precautions I turned it on and selected most of the options including Documents and Desktop.
Now, if I turn off iCloud Drive it looks like it's going to DELETE everything in Documents and on Desktop?
This can't be the case, can it?
MINUTES LATER . . .
Well I'll be damned. It seems that it IS true. Now my whole documents folder is empty and whatever was on my Desktop is gone. Maybe it's still on iCloud Drive but I haven't looked yet.
This seems nuts to me.
