[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1948176, member: 204485"] That is not impossible especially if you have had Macs for a while but if you are a new user and considering you've only used 165GB of storage out of 1000GB on your Mac I can only assume you have a lot of data in iCloud Drive and or you are using iCloud Photo Library. In System Settings > Your Name (at the top) > Under Saved to iCloud there is a breakdown of storage, see below; [ATTACH type="full"]39965[/ATTACH] As you can see I have 134GB in iCloud Drive but if I "Get Info" on iCloud Drive in the Finder Sidebar it shows it's only 949MB on my MacBook Pro because the rest is in iCloud Drive in iCloud. See below: [ATTACH type="full"]39966[/ATTACH] The items that have the little Cloud icon with the down arrow at the right hand end are not on my MBP but can be downloaded when and if I want them.
