macOS 14.4 version has been found a variety of problems, including Apple modified the kernel to cause Java series software abnormalities, some USB Hub devices abnormal, some dongles can not be used normally.

Now there is a new issue that has the potential to have an even bigger impact, if you use iCloud web drive and have optimized Mac storage turned on, you may permanently lose all of your previous saved versions after upgrading to macOS version 14.4.

In older versions of macOS, if a file is released from iCloud's local storage, all the versions that have been saved in the cloud will be retained, and users can save the file to the local and cloud versions again.

However, when you perform the file release operation in macOS 14.4, the historical version saved in the cloud will also be permanently deleted, it should be emphasized that this feature is only after optimizing Mac storage is turned on.

Therefore, for users who have upgraded to macOS 14.4, either do not continue to use iCloud web disk at this time, or immediately disable the optimized Mac storage feature, disable this feature and then save files to prevent file loss.

To disable Mac storage, go to System Settings, tap Apple ID, select iCloud, turn off Optimized Mac Storage, and again, note that you may have to turn it off twice, and users have reported that it may turn itself on again.
