I started to upload videos to iCloud from my external drive and noticed that I would not have enough storage on my iCloud to accommodate all of the videos. I tried to stop the upload but whenever I connect my external drive, something is restarting the upload process. How do I totally stop the upload?
MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13)
I dragged the folder that included all (only) videos and dropped it onto my iCloud icon in a Finder window. I believe to stop the process I hit esc or cancel. I ejected my external drive ok and have not reconnected it to my laptop since then. When I open Finder, iCloud shows little cloud icons next to all the videos and one audio file and says it is uploading 30+ files in the little reader line at the bottom of the Finder window.
Here is a screenshot to go with my last discussion. My external drive is not connected.
How did you start the upload process? That would determine how to stop it.
Have you tried restarting the computer? System Preferences/iCloud and uncheck iCloud Drive?
