I expect I'll add another 50 GB of photos and tip over to needing an even larger cloud subscription and I think I can keep all my iOS and macOS devices using 256 SSD or less even as my total storage grows. Everything else fits on the boot drive and the thinning process is quite solid. My Photos library is now at 120 GB alone so my one device that downloads the full versions of everything so I can make a separate backup has that photo library on an external drive and not the 256 SSD. I'm quite happy with 200 GB in the cloud for the past three years and three Mac with 256 SSD.
Just be sure to store files outside the buckets that sync locally and I think you'll be able to have iCloud storage for things you don't want on your Mac. Then you'll want to let the machine get in balance with iCloud (which can take hours if you are in the 200 GB storage size for iCloud - even if you have a local caching server on your network) and then revisit the settings and adjust your plans. To clean things up, you will want to sign in to and delete anything you don't want syncing down in the short term. If you opt in to syncing on one Mac - now you have 4 folders on any one Mac signed in to iCloud - the cloud version of desktop and documents and the local version.
Look for confusion around Documents and Desktop. It doesn't do the calculation first - it actually downloads. That means Apple downloads everything and then frees up space when it sees you have little space left. Look for words like "if there is space" in the description. Try using a different USB port and cord, just to make sure neither of these are causing the problem.I think that dialog you have up is pretty clear but based on the last question I would encourage a couple changes in how you're using iCloud. If it is, unplug it, and then plug it back in. If you’re using a USB webcam, make sure it’s plugged in. If Rosetta is already installed, you are not asked to install it again. If you click Not Now, you will be asked again the next time you open an app that needs Rosetta. Click Install, then enter your user name and password to allow installation to proceed. It’s also possible to use superior external cameras as webcams if you want to boost the video quality. You're asked to install Rosetta the first time you open an app that needs Rosetta. However, you might need to buy an external webcam for some Mac models, like the Mac mini or Mac Pro. MacBooks, iMacs, and the iMac Pro all have internal cameras. RELATED: How (and When) to Reset the SMC on Your Mac Problems with an External Webcam You can find your particular model and instructions for resetting the SMC here. How you reset the SMC depends entirely on which Mac you have. The SMC is responsible for low-level settings, like fans and LEDs, but it might also impact your internal webcam. If you’ve tried everything else (or your webcam wasn’t listed in the System Report), you might want to try resetting your Mac’s System Management Controller (SMC).
