Removing Desktop and Documents from icloud
Hi. So I upgraded to 10.13.5 and turned on messages in iCloud. doing so maxed out my iCloud storage. I'm on the 2tb plan and have a 1.83tb photos library. and about 100gb of desktop and documents. So I have little wiggle room. I disabled messages on iCloud and I think that freed up the remaining 100gb.
That being said, I dont need my documents folder on iCloud. I rarely use anything in there on my phone or iPad etc, but when I go to uncheck the box, it says items will be removed from this computer and maintained on iCloud -- the exact opposite of what I want. I looked at the apple help documentation and this appears to be the case, it says it creates a NEW documents folder.
How do I turn it off and have it NOT remove my files from my MacBook? it seems utterly ridiculous to remove it, then download 100gb from icloud back on to my computer. I suppose I can move them to another local directory before it removes them, but am I missing something or is this how its supposed to work???
(also I'm REALLY REALLY hoping they up the storage to 3tb at WWDC this year. I really love iclouds functionality and am annoyed I have such a small margin to deal with)
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), macOS High Sierra (10.13.5), null
