Off topic and unrelated, but I did have a hiccup in the Mojave upgrade with my Documents and Desktop folders. They ended up in iCloud, rather than on my desktop. About an hour with Apple tech support got it worked out. I had to reload the content of those folders from my TimeMachine to my Mac. She said she had received other calls with the same problem. I don’t think I can summarize the issue (I’m fairly low tech). But if you’re upgrading to Mojave, I suggest that you have rock-solid backups of your stuff before hitting the “Upgrade” button.
That’s a feature, not a bug. I use it all the time. It allows me to have my Documents and Desktop folders on whatever Mac I’m using if I’m logged into iCloud. I can also access those folders from my iOS devices. Also, it’s kind of* an off-site backup. If a tree falls on this iMac, those files won’t be lost with this computer. I can pick up another Mac, log into iCloud, and there they are.
*I still do real backups with both Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner including two drives that are rotated off-site, so don’t worry about me.
