The volume “/“ is out of space

Ok so I seen the same error code and assumed because I still had lots of cloud space that it was an issue with the amount of files that have been downloaded and viewed. Of course they don't tell you how much space is used just to view files and iCloud Drive doesn't have an UPLOAD button for files that have already been downloaded. Basically you have to wait for the file to magically put itself back in the cloud (seems to take a long while) .......So to fix this by going into your iCloud settings and turning off iCloud Drive and instantly turning it back on all your files will basically reset as if they were never viewed.

Why you need big storage in I cloud if you get the messeng the volume out of space😠

I have no idea how this worked, but it did. After many hours of failing to get around this when transferring large files to my iPad with apparently 30gb still of storage remaining. Thank you so much

I just tried this and now I went from having limited files on the iCloud Drive to zero files. How do I retrieve my files?

I too can no longer access files on my MacBook Air from my iPad like I used to after trying this. I would advice others not to do this unless you really know what you’re doing.

I have two terabyte storage subscription in I cloud but doesn’t work for me easy way advice is Google photo is working much better for me for free and soon i will end up with ignorant iCloud

Very good quastion but no answer or responseble in this place
