@j_allenbrand Uncheck this box in the restrictions payload (functionality tab) for a config profile.

More importantly for me...is there a way to detect if someone is already using iCloud Drive?

@ddcdennisb Thanks. This will work for most of my systems but it appears to only pull from the logged in user. Ideally it would be nice to pull from all users on the computer and report that as we have some multiuser systems.

@j_allenbrand , that script is an Extension Attribute. So it would be listed under which ever category you put it in.

@DBrowning, Do you know if this script will be updated to be compatible with Big Sur? Currently, when this script runs, it returns "OS Not Supported" next to the extension attribute. Or is there something that needs to be modified in the code for this change?

I tested with this script as an extension attribute and it does indeed work for 12.5.1.

Hello,
I added a line to help with macOS Ventura 13 which is now:

OSverMajor="$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion | /usr/bin/cut -d . -f 1)"

= 13

but the results are not accurate as I have iCloud and iCloud sync active. Maybe you can help me sort this out.

result is:

We do not have Big Sur in our environment so the 2 work perfectly for Monterey:

OSverMinor="$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion | /usr/bin/cut -d . -f 2)"

if [ "$OSverMinor" -ge "12" ] || [ "$OSverMajor" -eq "11" ]; then

Thank you for your help!

This changes the check on Major version from equal to 11 and changes it to greater than or equal to 11.

Question regarding the results from this. We noticed that on a computer with iCloud logged in it shows "iCloud Account Disabled" but it's not and is active with the Drive enabled but not syncing. Could this be a bug or fluke on this endpoint macOS Ventura 13.2.1 M1 Pro.

Guess I'll need to go back and validate. Looks like Apple has changed some of the keys in the plist. I'll take a look at it tomorrow and report back.
