  1. How to relocate iCloud Photos AWAY from boot drive.


    It seems like everyone only has one hdd, but I have MANY, and I'd like to have space on my boot drive restored. All indications are that the photos are in the "cloud," but they still occupy my .5tb boot drive taking up almost all of the space. There is a cloud symbol by each file, but the space is still taken. I've been unable to figure out how to relocate the files to my 8tb with 3TB of space.

    :)
