(More likely, you’ll want to create a new Photos Library after you disable iCloud Photos on a single Mac while keeping it active elsewhere.)īecause iCloud retains the full-resolution versions of all synced images, you’re in no danger of losing media even if you have the optimized option checked for Photos on other Macs and in iOS.
You can opt not to do that, and only synced images downloaded in full are retained. Even with an iCloud account used on other Macs and with iOS devices for iCloud Photos, this particular account on this particular Mac won’t download images and videos or upload those captured or imported locally.īut if the iCloud Photos box is checked, you need to understand what happens next: Photos prompts you about whether to check “Download Originals to this Mac.” If you choose to do so and hadn’t previously had that option selected, Photos downloads the full-resolution versions of all media. If it’s unchecked, there’s nothing more to do. There’s a simple checkbox there for iCloud Photos. The key is in Photos for macOS, in the Photos > Preferences settings for iCloud. You can disable iCloud Photos, but make sure you’ve downloaded what you need first.
