I’ve upgraded to Sierra and all of my data in my previous “Documents” folder previously on my hard drive (in Finder under Documents”) is now only available in iCloud (where there is now a “Documents” folder). There is no longer a “Documents” folder listed anywhere on my hard drive.
I’ve gone to System Preferences - iCloud and see that I can change that scenario (under Options). What I can’t figure out is that at the bottom of that Options box it states that “The full contents of iCloud Drive will be stored on this Mac if you have enough space. Older documents will be stored only in iCloud when space is needed.” I have more than enough space on my hard drive. In the Finder menu, when I select “Go” for “Documents” - it shows the documents in the iCloud section. My question is: where in Finder do I find all of my documents on my hard drive? Where are they “stored”? Any views/recommendations about allowing all documents to be stored only on iCloud under this new regime would be appreciated. What and the hell happens when iCloud bombs out/is hacked etc etc? And if I use this iCloud method of saving all my data previously stored on the hard drive under the “Documents” folder, what work is my local Time Machine able to do by way of backing up (and/or other external drives that I use for backup backups for that matter).
