What to do when Apple tells you there’s not enough storage to re-sync iCloud Photo Library

Joe Sarsero writes in with an issue about disabling and re-enabling iCloud Photo Library in macOS. His wife turned iCloud Photo Library off with her 250GB set of photos and videos on a Mac with about 100GB of storage remaining on the drive. She then re-enabled it. She had full-resolution images turned on, so she didn’t lose any media in the process. (As to why, he didn’t say, but I did the same thing recently!)</p><p>
However, Joe writes:</p>

<p>
An error message appeared stating that photos in iCloud could not be downloaded to the Mac because there was not enough disk space. She would need to enable the Optimize Mac Storage setting in order to use iCloud Photo Library again on the Mac. I don’t understand what is happening. Full-resolution images are already on Mac.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3138918/data-center-cloud/what-to-do-when-apple-tells-you-theres-not-enough-storage-to-re-sync-icloud-photo-library.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
