Hi @sameer.baya,
the .icloud
extension is created by Apple’s iCloud product. It is a bit notorious for not interacting well with other applications.
It sounds like you may have a folder or folders that are being synced by odrive, but also being scanned/synced by icloud.
I’m not sure why icloud is adding multiple extensions, but you can turn off icloud’s storage optimization, which will prevent it from creating these icloud files, at least. Ideally you will want to configure things so that you are not using both odrive and icloud on the same data.
To turn off the creation of .cloud files:
- Go to ‘System Preferences’ on your Mac and click on ‘iCloud’.
- Click on ‘Options…’ to the right of the ‘iCloud Drive’ item.
- In here you can see what is currently setup. The ‘Desktop and Documents Folders’ is most-likely checked and indicates that iCloud is syncing those items to your iCloud storage.
- At the bottom of this window is the ‘Optimize Mac Storage’ option. This is what controls the creation of the .icloud files. Uncheck this option to prevent the creation of .icloud files.
