Mac, click Storage, then click Manage. You’ll see different recommendations based on
how you configured your Mac. If your Mac is low on storage, you’ll see an alert with a link
to the Storage pane.
Set options to:
Store in iCloud: Store all files, photos, and messages in iCloud and save space on
your Mac.

folders in iCloud Drive. When storage space is needed, iCloud Drive keeps
recently opened files on your Mac and makes your oldest files available on
demand.
Photos: Store photos and videos in iCloud Photos. When storage spaces is
needed, iCloud Photos uses optimized versions of photos and video on your Mac
and makes the originals available on demand.
Messages: Store all messages and attachments in iCloud. When storage space is
needed, iCloud keeps recent attachments on your Mac and makes your oldest files
available on demand.
Even though your files are stored in the cloud, you can access them right where you
left them on your MacBook Air. See .
