[QUOTE="Mikeo1938, post: 1838498, member: 135375"] Thanks Jake ... I wish I'd never started this self-inflicted rigmarole! I'd better ensure that I have enough storage space in iCloud. You say: [I]"Maybe just a different folder on your Mac, if you have the storage for it, outside the Documents folder? and once you have them all downloaded again you can then stop the storage process, in which case they will disappear from your Documents folder."[/I] The MPB is getting a bit short of space but if I understand correctly, once all the documents are in iCloud, I will have freed up a certain amount of space on the MPB. Then, if I download everything again, the stuff that I download should go back into the space that I've freed up. Is this so? Sorry to be dim but another question about iCloud: can I be selective about what I download to the MPB and what I leave up in iCloud? I mean there are some documents that I rarely need. Perhaps I can leave these in iCloud and just download those that I need frequently to the MPB? Once the process is completed, will I just see a whole bunch of aliases on my MPB (???) Are there perhaps some people who opt to leave everything in iCloud and just download files as and when they are required? M [/QUOTE]
