May 20, 2020 at 21:58 comment added Todd I suppose your solution could work with a larger iCloud Plan but usually not with the free 5GB because macOS would be unable to store things in iCloud because of the storage limit so storage would still be used.
May 20, 2020 at 21:57 comment added Natsfan well i'm out of options. i suppose you have to go back to the System Preferences -> iCloud and uncheck the iCloud Drive box.
May 20, 2020 at 21:41 comment added Todd Yes, I have verified this and when I contacted Apple Support, I was told that Optimize Mac Storage will not help (checked and unchecked). It might work for some people but it seems Apple doesn't think so.
May 20, 2020 at 21:40 comment added Natsfan Have you verified that your self?
