[QUOTE="Mikeo1938, post: 1838405, member: 135375"] Thanks for the various replies. I feel sure that when I got the scary message about all documents being removed from the Mac, I immediately stopped the process. In the Finder sidebar I see "iCloud" and below it: 1) iCloud Drive 2) Desktop 3) Documents When I click on the clock face beside (1) above, I can see that an upload is in progress. There's still a long way to go but I presume that when my iCloud is full, I'll get a message inviting me to increase the storage. I'm unsure about the clouds that I see next to documents in the various folders. Sometimes the cloud next to a document has a solid outline; sometimes the cloud is dotted; at other times there is no cloud at all. Can someone pse explain the significance of this? All documents appear on the MPB when I'm not connected to iCloud so I presume that everything will still be present when the upload has finished (??) I cannot see anything like "iCloud Archive". Will this appear later or will the "iCloud Archive" simply be my documents folder? Thanks in advance. M [/QUOTE]
