[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1942898, member: 396914"] No. What are stored on iCloud Drive are synced to iCloud, and may also be evicted when they meet whatever criteria is set up by Apple. But if Optimize is turned on, then everythiing in your Documents and Desktop folders are candidates for eviction. From Apple's user guide online: [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/optimize-storage-space-sysp4ee93ca4/14.0/mac/14.0[/URL] and from the System Settings help menu: Buried in all that is the fact that when iCloud Drive is active, it is possible to have all Desktop and Documents folders stored in iCloud Drive by the system, and when they are, for them to be evicted to be in the cloud, and not locally stored. And whether or not it will happen is left to the system to decide, not the user. Now, maybe you have so much storage on your drive that it never met any criteria to evict any files. It can happen.
