[QUOTE="pine man, post: 1729159, member: 329282"] I have only recently become a convert to iCloud Drive and was getting on very well dropping a few documents in it occasionally to access via my iPad and iPhone. Today I upgraded to Sierra and during the set up I inadvertently signed up to allow my Documents and Desk Top to be synchronised without realising. Everything looked ok in Finder until I realised that I was looking at iCloud Drive/Documents not iMac/Documents and realised what I had done. I went to the iCloud preferences and unticked Documents and Desk Top from iCloud Drive but, when I went back to Finder, Documents didn't exist anymore. So I reinstated the synchronisation and once again Documents & Desk Top was returned as it was before as part of iCloud. I have some questions. 1. When Documents is initially synchronised does that mean that nearly 4GB of bandwidth is being used up? (I am on 25GB a month - at the moment) 2. If I am, for instance, up in a plane or for some other reason unable to access my internet, can I still access all of the files on my iPad, iPhone and iMac? 3. Is there a simple way to restore my use of iCloud Drive to synchronise just the files I choose and return all of the files in iCloud Drive back to iMac Documents as it used to be? 4. Should I turn off iCloud Drive and use Microsoft OneDrive? Thanks for any advice. [/QUOTE]
