[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1951450, member: 204485"] So, I should add that I still have iCloud Drive even though i had to use the recovery method I described in Post # 6. I just don't have my Documents and Desktop folders on it. I use it to store files I don't need to have on my Mac AND [B]those files are still available on my other devices [/B]as well as my Mac and online at iCloud.com If I choose to put eg. an MS Word document into iCloud Drive I can open the Files app on my iPhone and find it there. I can open it with iOS Word and edit it and that will be reflected in my iCloud Drive copy on all my devices. I frequently save Pages docs to iCloud which are also available in the Files app > iCloud Drive > Pages folder. So, a combination of iCloud Drive used manually (rather than synced automatically) works very well for me, when I drag or save something onto my Desktop that's where it is, [I]locally[/I] on my Mac, like the screenshots I post on these forums. I hope that clarifies the topic a bit more. [/QUOTE]
