I opened my icloud drive and noticed a message at the bottom of the Finder window. The message is shown in the following image.

The way I read this is that 7,546 files and folders totaling 6.29 GB are being written to my icloud drive. Is that correct? If so, why is this happening?

I am running High Sierra on my iMac.

  • Please edit your question and include what version of Mac OS X you're using. (Maybe also add it as a tag, i.e. mojave, catalina, etc.)

Apple has gotten ever-more-aggressive about activating iCloud-on-by-default as the years pass.

The most likely cause is that Desktop & Documents iCloud syncing is enabled in System Preferences --> iCloud.

Here are some screen shots, note that in my example I do not have Desktop & Documents syncing turned on.
