Ian,
It sounds like you may have been invaded. Turn off all of your automatic
updates and run Clean my mac and for crying out loud shut down Google drive.
IMHO.

Yup, I did the upgrade, and things were just fine for a few days, then this
happened. Right now I’m working on the premis that my maxed out google drive
is trying to share folders with my hard drive even though I told it not too.
It may have been trying this before I made the change, and still trying to
accomplish it’s task before it lets the new settings take effect.

sync. This morning the 6.44 Gb is indeed in ICloud, but the mysterious

documents is growing, it is at 53 Gb, but when I look at the files and

As a reminder, I had a whole bunch of hard drive space because I moved a
bunch of stuff off to upgrade Mac OS, it was there for a couple of days and
then yesterday it filled up on me.
Any suggestions? I
Ve followed all the optimize storage recommendations I found on line and
in the system report application.
