My Mac is always trying to get me to save to iCloud by default. I hate it. Usually I catch it and put the document on my local drive, but sometimes it ends up in my iCloud drive, which I avoid using as much as possible.
- CharlesW 1y ago> My Mac is always trying to get me to save to iCloud by default. Nothing in macOS has ever attempted to lure me into saving to iCloud Drive. I thought you might be referring to Apple's office suite rather than macOS, but I just tried Pages and it boringly defaults to local storage as expected.
- apparent 1y agoIt reliably happens to me when I'm using TextEdit. I go to save from the title bar and it defaults to iCloud.
- CharlesW 1y agoI'm not doubting you, just saying I've never seen it, and I couldn't reproduce this in TextEdit either. It's quite possible it defaults to that in a fresh OS install, which I haven't done for as long as I can remember.
- apparent 1y agoI'm not on a clean install either, and I have changed the save location from iCloud to a local folder a zillion times. It is similar to how Apple pushes iCloud on iOS, with notifications that can only be "dismissed" by clicking through to an iCloud advert. Steve is rolling over in his grave.

That's unfortunate, I can only confirm that it doesn't happen to me on current/next versions of macOS. If that happened to me, I guess I'd just turn it off. https://imgur.com/a/Cl0xyJi https://imgur.com/a/Cl0xyJi
- apparent 1y agoI guess I'm one of those old-fashioned folks who thinks that having a functionality enabled shouldn't mean that it's used as the default (even after the user repeatedly changes it).
