Hello,
Maybe not an direct Jamf question,
But one might know it here.

I have an iCloud account, 200 GB always handy.
It also backups my desktop and document folder.

Cool feature, but since I am kind a used to store temporary things on my desktop, it uses a lot of data.

Is there an option to exclude one ore more folders on my desktop from being backuped?

Would love a good answer on this question too...not a great fan of this feature especially in labs.

Well,
For myself I found a working solution for now.

Made an map in the root, and made an alias.
Placed the alias on my desktop, and moved the big temp files to that alias.

Now its has been gone from the cloud.

But all the other documents are still on my desktop and are being back uped

Might not be a solution for your lab situation maybe.
