I really struggled with the iCloud feature that automatically uploads stuff to save space. I was running low on disk space and iCloud just constantly auto-uploaded files and deleted them locally. While this – in theory – might sound like a good idead, there where three issues that turned this into an nightmare:

- I could not tell iCloud which files i needed locally, or configure it in any way

- iCloud constantly uploaded files that I recently used and needed

- Sometimes it took very long to get them back

E.g. I would have a python script with a venv and because some files would not be there locally, the excecution failed. And even though I had internet access, I could keep clicking on the cloud-icon to fetch the file, and nothing happend... It was nightmarish. No I'm trying to quit iCloud, but I first have to understand how to get all my files back and what will get deleted when I quit. Not too easy...

Yeah for me iCloud pretty much will fill itself up almost immediately if I let it.

Solution....I just turn it off...

The problem with auto cloud backup is that short of just taking photos.... even somewhat casual users will fill their quota infinitely.

are you saying with or without paying the $1/m?
