[QUOTE="Mikeo1938, post: 1838512, member: 135375"] OK and thanks for your prompt reply. Well, I am where I am and the documents are uploading. I'll let that take its course. You say: [I]But keep in mind if you have already selected "Desktop & Documents Folders" from the iCloud or Apple ID System Preferences options, that will upload all your Documents to the cloud. Once you've done that and then deselect that option, you will lose your documents unless you have them copied elsewhere. [/I] It was a day or so ago and I can't really remember what I did. I guess that I did indeed select "Desktop & Documents Folders" from the iCloud or Apple ID System Preferences option because otherwise I would not be in this pickle now. I hope that I didn't subsequently deselect it. As things stand, my understanding is that when my documents have finished uploading, they will be in iCloud and will then disappear from my MPB. What about when the upload finishes? (Of course, I may not be at the computer at that time.) Will I be presented with a choice? Will I have to take some action or be careful not to do something? I'd hate to mess things up at the last stage! I've upgraded my storage and have plenty of room in iCloud. Thanks again for your patience. M [/QUOTE]
