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 ******. 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.
