    Mac full despite optimizing storage!

    I have 2Tb of iCloud storage. On my MacBook I have 500GB. I keep getting "Mac storage is full" messages which keeps me from getting any work done. With Optimize Mac Storage on, shouldn't Mac automatically "throttle" what's on my MacBook so I can keep using it? In System Prefs, it shows...

    Sierra's "Store in iCloud" Impact on Time Machine Paradigm
