2. Kill “iCloudDrive.exe” and “iCloudService.exe” process by taskmgr.

3.open cmd.exe, assuming the [username] represent the username you are logged in. Input command: cd c:\users\[username]\ . The command is case insentive.

4.Change the directory name.
ren c:\users\[username]\iCloudDrive c:\users\[username]\iCloudDrive.old

5.Create your new storage directory, such as You:\path\to\iCloudDrive

6.Create a junction use command:
C:\Users\[username]>mklink /j "iCloudDrive" "You:\path\to\iCloudDrive"

You get a junction directory to new destination, and the storage will not occupy your c drive space.

You can also use command to get a SYMLINKD directory:
C:\Users\[username]>mklink /d "iCloudDrive" "You:\path\to\iCloudDrive"
It also does not occupy your c drive space.
