Download Download Icloud
Silvio Orbino
I recently decided to stop syncing my desktop and documents with icloud drive in order to save space in icloud. I went to copy all of my files back from icloud and onto my desktop and realised that it had offloaded half of them off of my computer to try and save space. So I clicked on all the little download buttons however it just gets stuck on 0kb without ever downloading anything. I've tried downloading files seperatly and openning them to try and force them to download but even files only a couple of kilobytes in size refuse to download.
I have a large vault in iCloud (about 9000 files and 1.3GB, including attachments). When I download a new app or update, even though I my iPad has a few GB free, iOS often decides to free space by removing hundreds of vault files from my device. The next time I open Obsidian, it freezes shortly after startup, sometimes as it is indexing files it has managed to download. I have to force close it and restart it, even multiple times, in order to get everything downloaded again so I can use Obsidian. Alternatively, I can open the vault in the Files app and scroll up and down until it has re-downloaded everything. In any case, I lose time waiting for Obsidian to be usable.
I see a similar problem on my older iPad Air 2(iOS 14.4.2) where it often downloads 31 configuration files (not always). It takes a few seconds for those files to download.
I never noticed that download message on my iPhone 7 (iOS 15.1)
If it is the former then it would make sense that they would need to downloaded, as they are stored in the cloud. And as @winmaciek notes you would need to save them locally to a folder in Files on your iPad to be able to access them when offline.
I find it especially annoying with Photos. Often I take or download a photo and just minutes later I want to use it further. Already it has to be downloaded again. It really should keep a few of the latest pictures ready all the time.
Hi everyone.
Right now, I went to set up iCloud Drive on my Mac. When I went to download a 15 gb folder, my Mac said this after about 30 minutes of downloading. Downloading 10,687 items (3.60 GB of 57.39 GB).
Mac, I did not ask you to use 1/3 of my start up disc when I just wanted to download my folder with Logic Pro projects in it. The sad thing is, that this folder finished faster on my 14 pro than it would on the Mac. How do I know? It's only 3 gb done and I started it a good while ago. My internet is good enough for the 14 pro to download it, so why can't the m1 (supposedly faster than intel) processes on my Mac just not finish it and then download 1000000000000000000 Tb of iCloud data that I don't need?
There is a setting that only stores recent iCloud Drive files locally on your Mac that can be enabled by going to System Settings > [your name] > iCloud, and enabling the "Optimize Mac storage" toggle. If you want to remove a file or folder that's already been downloaded, locate it in Finder and choose "Remove download" from the context menu, accessed by pressing VO-Shift-M.
I ran into a problem when trying to pick photo from gallery (app crashes when I pick image uploaded on iCloud).So my first solution was to check if image is on device and if not, then download it from iCloud.
So my question is how to download image without re-saving it. Basically I want same behaviour as in photos app (when photo is not on device, it downloads photo and save it into same picture instead creating copy of it)
I've tried clicking the X button next to the progress bar, and I've also tried looking for a stop button in context menus, yet no luck. Even though they are definetly downloading, all I see in the context menus is "Download Now".
