Same query that others have raised, but I cannot find an answer in simple terms: I have attempted to drag / copy my desktop folder from iCloud to place it back on my home screen. This option is not allowed, it seems. I cannot see how to restore it. I do not wish to have desktop backed up to iCloud. Others on here have suggested to 'untick' and then 'tick' the option in iCloud preferences thats says 'Desktop & Documents Folders'. However I dont trust that the documents will disappear and then re-appear. Surely users can opt to retain their desktop on the machine's harddrive, and not have it backed up to iCloud, no..? (I use a TimeMachine ext. hard drive to back up everything). In an effort to open up more options, I purchased extra iCloud storage. This did not work, as I still do not have the option to return my Desktop folder to my machine's home screen.
Restore Desktop folder from the iCloud Drive to my home folder?
