This is a question relative to these two posts (this one and this one) found on Apple discussion.
I am using Sublime Text 3 to write and compile my latex documents. It works like a charm when I'm working on a local tex file, but it doesn't work when the file is stored on iCloud Drive: it returns directly an emergency stop. Here is the log file:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2016.4.19) 29 APR 2016 23:26

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
6 strings out of 493089
278 string characters out of 6134842
53199 words of memory out of 5000000
3590 multiletter control sequences out of 15000+600000
3640 words of font info for 14 fonts, out of 8000000 for 9000
1141 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191
3i,0n,0p,1b,6s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,10000p,200000b,80000s
! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Maybe it is related to the way iCloud automatically organizes the files by type...
Did anyone get rid of this issue?
You could try creating a symlink to the cloud directory, e.g.
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs Documents/CloudDocs
and run the command from ~/Documents/CloudDocs instead.
