Stopping automatic upload of desktop
I tried to stop automatically upload of documents located on the desktop to save space on iCloud. I have a lot of pictures on my desktop from my camera that I don't want in iPhotosI or stored in an album on iCloud. I followed instructions to go to System preferences/icloud/iCloud Drive/options and to deselect Desktop and Document folders. However, I am told the following warning when I try to deselect....
"If you continue items will be removed from the desktop and the documents folder on this MAC and will remain available on the iCloud Drive."
I do not want the documents removed from my desktop. I want them to be removed from the iCloud permanently. I do not want keep going on iCloud to remove them. I want to stop the upload from my computer.
