Hi,
It there a way to not allow users to sync their device with their personal iCloud? Ie not allowing icloud drive.
Thanks
Jared

@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?

Use this EA
#!/bin/bash
# Purpose: to grab iCloud Drive Desktop and Document Sync status.
# If Drive has been setup previously then values should be: "Enabled" or "Not Enabled"
# If Drive has NOT been set up previously then values will be: "iCloud Account Enabled, Drive Not Enabled" or "iCloud Account Disabled"
#Variable to determine major OS version
OSver="$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion | /usr/bin/cut -d . -f 2)"
#Determine OS is 10.12 or greater as Doc Sync is only available on 10.12+
if [ "$OSver" -ge "12" ]; then
#Path to PlistBuddy
plistBud="/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy"
#Determine logged in user
loggedInUser=$(python -c 'from SystemConfiguration import SCDynamicStoreCopyConsoleUser; import sys; username = (SCDynamicStoreCopyConsoleUser(None, None, None) or [None])[0]; username = [username,""][username in [u"loginwindow", None, u""]]; sys.stdout.write(username + "
");')
#Variable to determine status of iCloud Drive Desktop & Documents setting
iCloudDesktop=$(defaults read /Users/$loggedInUser/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist FXICloudDriveDesktop)
#Determine whether user is logged into iCloud
if [[ -e "/Users/$loggedInUser/Library/Preferences/MobileMeAccounts.plist" ]]; then
iCloudStatus=$("$plistBud" -c "print :Accounts:0:LoggedIn" /Users/$loggedInUser/Library/Preferences/MobileMeAccounts.plist 2> /dev/null )
#Determine whether user has iCloud Drive enabled. Value should be either "False" or "True"
if [[ "$iCloudStatus" = "true" ]]; then
DriveStatus=$("$plistBud" -c "print :Accounts:0:Services:2:Enabled" /Users/$loggedInUser/Library/Preferences/MobileMeAccounts.plist 2> /dev/null )
if [[ "$DriveStatus" = "true" ]]; then
if [[ "$iCloudDesktop" = "1" ]]; then
DocSyncStatus="Enabled"
else
DocSyncStatus="Not Enabled"
fi
fi
if [[ "$DriveStatus" = "false" ]] || [[ -z "$DriveStatus" ]]; then
DocSyncStatus="iCloud Account Enabled, Drive Not Enabled"

@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.

@ddcdennisb where do you get the results from?
Posted on 12-06-2019 11:00 AM
@j_allenbrand , that script is an Extension Attribute. So it would be listed under which ever category you put it in.
Posted on 02-08-2021 04:52 PM
@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?
Posted on 02-08-2021 04:56 PM
@Rye easy change to the script to include Big Sur. Below is the updated EA that I use.

OSverMajor="$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion | /usr/bin/cut -d . -f 1)"
#Determine OS is 10.12 or greater as Doc Sync is only available on 10.12+
if [ "$OSverMinor" -ge "12" ] || [ "$OSverMajor" -eq "11" ]; then

Works like a charm as always.
Posted on 09-07-2022 02:26 PM
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!

@jmanprasert try changing the if statement to

I replied to the wrong line. Sorry about that:
Your script above has that line in it, 11th line.
This is the 7-11 line. Even tried taking out the -f 1)" line and didnt make a difference
#Variable to determine major OS version
OSverMinor="$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion | /usr/bin/cut -d . -f 2)"
OSverMajor="$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion | /usr/bin/cut -d . -f 1)"

Sonoma compatibility?
I am seeing OS Not Supported on our clients now.
Thank you.
Posted on 03-13-2023 01:11 PM
This changes the check on Major version from equal to 11 and changes it to greater than or equal to 11.
Posted on 03-13-2023 01:27 PM
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.
Posted on 03-13-2023 01:41 PM
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.
Posted on 03-13-2023 02:20 PM
Thanks in advance as I was thinking lost my mind. We have another one that's pretty old we use that seems to be accurate enough that I've posted it below, but we've used the one you wrote for a long time.
#!/bin/sh
iCloudDrivePath="/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs"
grabConsoleUserAndHome()
{
currentUser=$(stat -f %Su "/dev/console")
homeFolder=$(dscl . read "/Users/$currentUser" NFSHomeDirectory | cut -d: -f 2 | sed 's/^ *//'| tr -d '\n')
case "$homeFolder" in
*\ * )
homeFolder=$(printf %q "$homeFolder")
;;
*)
;;
esac
}
grabConsoleUserAndHome
if [[ "$currentUser" == "root" ]]
then
exit
fi
# Checks if the drive path and file exists
if [[ -e "$homeFolder""$iCloudDrivePath" ]]
then
# Checks status of iCloud Drive Desktop and Documents setting
iCloudDesktop=$(defaults read /Users/$currentUser/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist FXICloudDriveDesktop)
if [[ "$iCloudDesktop" = 1 ]];
then
echo "<result>"Drive Enabled - Desktop/Docs Enabled"</result>"

echo "<result>"Drive Enabled - Desktop/Docs Disabled"</result>"

Very nice and thank you for the work here. I put this in-place and it is working as expected.

Hi did you put this script under extension attributes or somewhere else?
Posted on 09-07-2022 02:39 PM
It is under extension attributes
Posted on 09-07-2022 02:49 PM
hmm I can't seem to get it to show up
Posted on 09-07-2022 04:13 PM
I used the second script posted and set it under Extension Attributes...
Posted on 09-07-2022 04:13 PM
I assume you ran a recon on at least one laptop... to pick up the extension attribute?

You have it listed under Hardware.
I am sure you know that by now.
Thank you!
