# Does Run Tuhi make my iCloud files online-only?

Yes, when you have cloud folders such as iCloud Drive on your Mac, **Run Tuhi** includes a step called **Keeping cloud files online-only**. It looks for large downloaded files in your cloud folders and makes them online-only, then reports how much space that freed.

Like every online-only step in Storage Studio, it never deletes anything: the files stay in iCloud and download again when you open them. Files that aren't using local space are left alone.

If you'd rather keep everything downloaded, don't run it right before you go offline. To free just one big iCloud file, use **Free up** in Storage Profile's **Biggest space-users** list instead. See [Tuhi & Free Up Space](https://storagestudio.us/manual/free-up-space).
