Ironically, I regularly get a warning on my Macbook Pro that I am running out of disk space, even when I have over half left.
The kicker? They try really hard to sell me on paying for iCloud.
Scammy?
Absolutely.
Someone who is NOT computer literate will likely pay for iCloud storage based on false information.
- matthewmacleod 9y agoDo you, though? That sounds like a bug. I have also seen that warning, but only when I have about 10% free space.
- JacobJans 9y agoDo I what? I have a 512gb disk. It has over 300gb free.
- 1123581321 9y agoYour problem is so unusual that I don’t see how it can be deliberate on Apple’s part.
- matthewmacleod 9y agoYeah, this is definitely not a normal thing then. It's certainly not a standard Apple feature to start warning people that they're running out of disk space when there's so much free.
- pixelbill 9y agoDon't you know that SSDs slow down after they are 50% full? You look like you're getting close to half full there, Apple is just giving you a warning to make sure that your computer performs at peak performance! You should really thank them..

- sarreph 9y agoI personally don’t think that those two things are causally related. And that’s not with the ‘benefit of the doubt’, either. If you’ve run out of disk/swap space, then it doesn’t matter how much iCloud storage you have, your Mac will still be slow.
