Store them in any other folder than iCloud Drive or if enabled, desktop and documents.

Using iCloud with iMac - saving documents? Using iCloud with iMac, should I save documents to my iMac or to iCloud? There is usually an option. I've been saving to iCloud for years, but recently started having instances of archive getting in the loop and messing me up. I think Apple advisor said that was caused by saving to iCloud.

Saving documents onto my actual Mac - not iCloud How can I save documents to my Mac please? I tried to save something to my desktop, but I can't see it so it must be somewhere else. I suspect its in iCloud. My Mac started saving items onto iCloud. I don't want to do this so I turned off iCloud, but I can't now save anything to my Mac. As I also need to use OneDrive and I have to move files to that manually as it won't synch, I'm getting quite frustrated. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thanks
