![]() But why do I not have com~apple~CloudDocs/? Its absence cannot be put down to my not having the automatic sync enabled, because you also do not have it enabled and yet you can see com~apple~CloudDocs/ in your Mobile Documents folder. ![]() I deduce that Library/Mobile Documents as such takes me to iCloud, not to my local Documents folder (which is consistent with what you say about the Finder), and therefore does not show any locally stored material. I have just created a little document in Pages and saved it in my Documents folder on my Mac, and it does not appear in Library/Mobile Documents/Documents. In Library/Mobile Documents, there is no com~apple~CloudDocs/ to be seen! Thank you.Īt present I have not got the automatic Documents and Desktop syncing switched on (though I manually copied these folders into iCloud a few days ago). Note: The folders automatically used by iOS applications are not accessible in Terminal, and understandably so - this would probably violate the walled garden philosophy of iOS, where you don't have real access to documents via the file system, and applications can only see their own documents (well, now a little more open using "Files" application on iOS) Guess what: Finder will take you to iCloud Drive. (note the subtlety: in the Terminal, you have to escape the space character between "Mobile" and "Documents", but you don't do it in the Finder go to folder window) Or, in the Finder, press command-shift-G and paste Ls ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/ ICloud Drive has this strange duality: it shows "folders" named after applications (the ones that exist in both macOS and iOS, like Pages or Numbers), and also normal folders, which you may create using the Finder, and used to save any kind of document you want (much like in a normal folder in your hard drive).įolders you create manually using the Finder are there, accessible even with internet, and in a known location. ![]() apparently, with the exception of those saved directly into application folders. ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/ I do not, however, use Documents and Desktop in iCloud.įor the regular iCloud Drive, documents that are stored locally in I shall experiment with that after I have posted this reply, but it would be valuable if other knowledgeable readers of this forum could offer their views and experiences.Īs I wrote before, I use iCloud Drive, and find it very useful. You say: 'I have just tried disconnecting my mac from the internet, and could still see documents in my iCloud drive.' This is puzzling. See top-and-documents-enabled-for-icloud-dri… And using the automatic sync option, the Documents and Desktop folders disappear altogether from one's computer when they are synced to iCloud. But I am still not happy with Google Drive and should prefer to use iCloud if possible. In the past I had bad troubles with Google Drive and its associated syncing application, though using Insync instead got round that. Using Google Drive, this is what happens quite naturally. I want (1) to have my documents, etc., stored locally on my hard drive (where I can access them even if I cannot access iCloud Drive, and - more importantly - from where I can back them up onto another hard drive) and (2) to have them in iCloud so that I can access them from my iPhone. Nor is escalating to the 50 GB storage option in iCloud, which I have done. I wonder what ' Potentially removes them' actually entails?
