How can i turn off the option to have anything i put on my macbook desktop sync to my iphone 11 files?

Just got a macbook few days ago and i want to know how can i turn off the option to have anything i put on my macbook desktop syncing to my iphone 11 files? I have tried turning off icloud but then the files just disappeared and reappeared when i turned it back on also tried deleting the files that are from my computer on my phone but whenever i delete the phone files the computer files delete too and i don't want that, i just want the files to be on my computer not my phone. Can someone help?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Move items to your Mac and remove them from iCloud Drive

On your Mac, drag items from iCloud drive to another folder in the Finder sidebar or on the desktop, such as Downloads, Movies, Music and Pictures.
The items are copied to your Mac and removed from iCloud Drive on all your devices set up for iCloud. If you change your mind, you can drag items back to iCloud Drive.
