Cloud Cleanup in CleanMyMac - Cloud space has limits. Cloud Cleanup makes it feel infinite
by•
CleanMyMac’s new Cloud Cleanup feature scans your cloud storage to find large space-wasters. You can securely remove files from your space or unsync them from your cloud storage. Works entirely on-device with accounts on iCloud, OneDrive, and Google Drive.

This looks really useful! One question about the privacy aspect, how does CleanMyMac access and analyze cloud storage without actually storing or accessing the file contents? I'm always cautious about tools that connect to multiple cloud services.

@new_user___2102025ccf300597b9cff85 Hi Ліна. You're absolutely right to be cautious about how your data and files are being handled. At MacPaw, we also place a huge value on privacy and security.
While you do have to connect your cloud service to CleanMyMac for this feature, communication happens exclusively between your Mac and your cloud provider. All of the processing is done on-device, meaning none of your files are ever saved or accessed on our server.
If you're curious, you can visit https://macpaw.com/policy to learn more about our privacy and security policies, or feel free to ask more questions and I'd be happy to help out.
Excited for this update as a many years fan of CleanMyMac!

@alexandr_sazonov1 Thank you Alex!

@katerina_nazarenko, I absolutely agree. Thank you for your contribution, Kateryna!
I think like 95% of my Google Drive is old videos. Once I’m down to clean up, it’s just faster to do it right from CleanMyMac instead of switching windows. So this is def a useful shortcut.
Congrats on the launch! 🎉 The feature looks super helpful — my cloud storage is definitely a mess and needs attention. One question, though: can I undo a cleanup if I accidentally delete something important? Just want to make sure there’s a safety net before I go on a cleanup spree 😅
Excited to try it out!

@varvara_podnos Hi Varvara, thank you for the support! Just like with CleanMyMac's other features, you have complete control over what goes and what stays. That said, there is no way to undo a deletion on your device. We recommend taking the time to review all selected files before deleting or unsyncing anything. It's also recommended to keep a backup of your device for safety and security.
@ethanwayne Thank you for the answer!
Hi! I have a question: Is it safe to use Cloud Cleanup if I have important work documents in my cloud storage?

This product is absolutely amazing, and this new feature is something so many of us have wanted for a long time ☁️
Congrats on the launch! Is it possible to undo a cleanup in case I remove something by mistake?

@ikamin Hi Denis. Thank you for the support! At this point in time, it is not possible to undo a cleanup. For this reason, we'd recommend spending the time to review all selected items before deleting or unsyncing. Keeping a backup of your device is also recommended for safety and security. If you have any issues or further questions, our support team would be glad to assist you https://macpaw.com/support
When my Mac was already running out of storage, this was the only app that actually helped me
From the very first seconds after installing it, everything was clear and easy to use
I really enjoyed both the experience and the usefulness, you guys did a great job!
