[QUOTE="bumbleboo, post: 1836774, member: 46838"] I am fed up with iCloud and want my documents etc on my computer in the filing system that I set and know where to find things. It seems since I have just bought a new iMac (updated from my old MacbookPro) that my files are not as I originally planned. I have gone onto iCloud drive as you suggested and in Finder opened new files for Documents, Desktop and Downloads but when I go onto the iCloud site to download my documents to the Documents New folder it appears as if the download icon is greyed out! Seems I'm a bit of a numpty 'cause i can't see how I can achieve my aim! I want to disable iCloud (I have Backups in Time Machine and an external disk) and keep stuff on my computer not floating around somewhere! Help please? [/QUOTE]
