MacOS – How to turn off iCloud storage space warning notifications

icloudmacosnotifications

On my Mac I've been getting many pop-up and email notifications about my meager iCloud storage space.

I only really use iCloud with iOS and chose to sign in to my same account on my Mac.

There's no chance that I'll upgrade so how can I turn off these Mac warnings that iCloud storage is close to full?

I think your options are limited here.

  1. Turn off iCloud Backup altogether.
    Some info on how to selectively or collectively switch off iCloud is here: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613?locale=en_GB&viewlocale=en_US

  2. Back up less, e.g. by deciding not to back up your camera roll. I carefully manage what gets backed up and what not (and also which app gets mobile internet access).
    To see which apps on your phone are taking up the most space follow these steps:

    • Open the settings app
    • Tap iCoud
    • Scroll down to Storage & Backup and open it
    • Tap Manage Storage
    • Select your iPhone

  3. If you're on Windows 10 (unlikely in this forum...), type in the Windows 10 search box Settings and select "Settings Trusted Windows Store App"

    • Click "System"
    • Click "Notifications & Actions"
    • Scroll down to "Show Notifications from these apps"
    • find "iCloud" and turn it off

      This works for other offending app notifications
