Hi,

I'm on latest Mac OS, according to "Storage" in settings, I'm only using 65GB out of 1TB, which is a total nonsense.

My iCloud drive alone is at least 30GB, it shows as 124.1MB only.

Anyone has the same issue?

I found that enabling and disabling Apple Intelligence can screw all storage information up.

I think anybody should be able to find 15 minutes of time to find out through what chaos Apple Intelligence was born - and after that this does not surprise at all.

Brand new Mac, first thing I did was disable Apple “intelligence”, trying enabling it but it doesn’t change anything.
 
Ok now the numbers changed.
But what confuses me is that iCloud shows it takes only 120MB, if I click on info it says what you can see on the image, it confuses me, all iCloud Drive data I have is kept on the Mac and in the cloud.

What is even more confusing is that I've selected all iCloud folders and de-selected "Keep downloaded", but the files are still on my Mac locally.

But now it shows this:
