[QUOTE="Mikeo1938, post: 1838814, member: 135375"] Well, the upload has finished. It took ages because I deliberately disconnected from the internet for long periods. The Finder now shows: iCloud Drive and below this I see Desktop Documents Everything is accessible: new documents are uploaded at once when WIFI is on, and when it's off I see "waiting to upload". So everything is now in iCloud Drive. On the other hand, I'm surprised that [U]even when the WIFI is off[/U], I am still able to see and edit older documents. When I edit, the changes are saved to the document as far as the Mac is concerned. So are my documents [U]really[/U] only in iCloud? I ask this because someone said in one of the posts: [I]"You will see links that look like the file is there, but the actual file won't be there. You won't know that until you try to open the document and it can't be opened unless you are on the net."[/I] So perhaps my initial concern (that documents would not be accessible when there is no internet connection) is unfounded. On the above basis, I'm thinking that there's no need to download stuff back to the MPB. Thanks in advance for comments. M [/QUOTE]
