iCloud Drive with smaller drive problem

[carlsson]

Situation:
iCloud Drive 2 TB, filled with appr 1 TB data.
One Mac (A) with 2,5 TB storage. (macOS 10.13)
One Mac (B) with 256 GB storage. (macOS 10.11)

I really love the iCloud Drive solution, I can reach all my documents from all of my devices!
BUT – the B Mac tries to sync more than it can handle, making it unresponsive and impossible to work with. This is because it tries to sync all the time, leaving only 1 GB (or less) of storage available.


This must be some kind of bug right? Is there a workaround? Will it work if I upgrade Mac B to 10.13?

Have you looked into checking the Optimize box in Mac B?
