# How do I find the biggest iCloud files taking space on my Mac?

Open Storage Studio's **Storage Profile** from the More menu (•••) and look at **Biggest space-users**. It lists the files genuinely taking up room on your disk — including downloaded iCloud files — and each iCloud file has a **Free up** button that makes it online-only in one tap.

In Finder you can also open iCloud Drive, switch to list view, show the **Size** column and sort by it, though Finder shows full sizes even for online-only files.

Online-only files never appear in Storage Profile's list, because they aren't using space on your Mac. See [Free up for iCloud files](https://storagestudio.us/faq/freeing-space/what-does-the-storage-profile-free-up-button-do).
