If I understand your post correctly, you turned on iCloud drive but then turned it off and now you're unable to open documents that were moved to iCloud Drive. I'll be happy to help with this.
You can visit iCloud.com to access these files. To remove them from iCloud and store them locally, you'll need to set up iCloud again to access the documents stored there. Then you can store the documents locally on your Mac again. This article will tell you more:
Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive
Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a great day.

Every file and folder comes with a set of permissions. These permissions indicate which users or applications can interact with that file and how they can interact. Files can have a range of permissions indicating which users can read, write and execute the file, as well as other more nuanced options. Change permissions for files, folders, or disks on Mac. Permission settings determine who can view and alter files on the computer. You change permission settings at the bottom of the Info window for a file, folder, or disk in the Finder. If you don’t have permission to open a file or folder, you may be able to change the permissions settings. On your Mac, select the item, then choose File Get Info or press Command-I. Click the arrow next to Sharing & Permissions to expand the section. On your Mac, select a disk, folder, or file, then choose File Get Info. If the information in Sharing & Permissions isn’t visible, click the arrow. If the lock at the bottom right is locked, click it to unlock the Get Info options, then enter an administrator name and password. Click a user or group in the Name column, then choose a privilege setting from the pop-up menu.
Symptoms
A user grants you Free/Busy permission to their calendar, but when you try to open that user's calendar in Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac or Outlook for Mac 2011, you receive the following error message:
Outlook cannot open the folder. You do not have permission to open this folder. Contact <user_name> for permission.
Cause
Directory Permission 2016 For Mac Os
Outlook for Mac cannot open another user's calendar when the user's Calendar folder permission level is set to Free/Busy. This feature is available only in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 for Windows.
For more information, see Calendar permissions differences in Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013.
Resolution
Directory Permission 2016 For Mac Windows 7
To open a shared calendar in Outlook for Mac, the user must grant you permissions of Reviewer or higher. Or, you can view the user's Free/Busy information by creating a new meeting request and then adding that user in the Scheduling Assistant.
