![]() ICloud management seems to be delivering to expectations. the latest version loaded in iCloud from the MacBook Pro. My File.xlsx is dated at 4:09:23 PM, i.e. “March 17th” folder appears on the MacBook Pro and all the other documents and folders come down from the cloud to the iMac. I open my MacBook Pro and see that this folder doesn’t seem to appear there … No iCloud cloud icon on the iMac either … No syncing!Īnd then suddenly, without any warning, my folders fill up again from iCloud. I create a “March 16” folder on the desktop, just to see. but they remain empty! I would at least expect to see the structure of these folders appear from iCloud, but no! Let’s pretend to not care and carry on with other things, while keeping an eye on my files. This time it’s okay, my Documents and Office folders are both empty…. So I rename this folder to “My iCloud Drive (Archive)” before I reopen the iCloud session. Documents and Desktop are empty as expected, but there is a folder at the root of my account on the system drive: iCloud Drive (Archive). I restart the Mac, but before reconnecting the iCloud session, I check the contents of my folders. I decide to try and log out of iCloud again, making sure I have unchecked the local copy option. ![]() So I opt out and uncheck the local copy and close the session.Īfter restarting my computer, and reconnecting to iCloud Drive, surprise: my files are instantaneously restored to Documents and Desktop, but still not synced! Strange. In my case, no need for a copy, I still have my Time Machine backup and the cloud version. Closing the session, displays an alert: your files will be deleted from this Mac! You can keep a copy if necessary. How to fix it?Īpple recommends, when iCloud no longer synchronizes, to close the session and reopen it after restarting the Mac. Is this dilemma the cause of this hesitation? Who knows. Well in my case iCloud seems a bit lost and doesn’t sync anymore. What will iCloud do? The most recent version of the file is the Macbook’s version, dated at 16:09:23. The Time Machine restore File.xlsx from at 9:37:43 PM, but the restore operation took place on at 5:00:00 PM. Let’s take an example, the File.xlsx file was modified on at 4:09:23 PM on the Macbook. What about its more recent version on the Macbook? That restored Excel file from yesterday appears to have been placed on iCloud just now. It is true that I total 30 GB of files in iCloud and after all, after a restore from Time Machine, with a potentially older version of some files, one could wonder how iCloud can handle this. The next day, the bar did not move by one inch. Some documents edited on my MacBook Pro were not up to date!Ĭlicking on the circular progress bar icon of the iCloud folder shows a progress bar but it does not appear to progress at all. The downloaded file can then be opened through any third-party application.Recently, after replacing the hard drive (SSD) of my iMac, and after restoring its content from Time Machine (see my post on the best backup strategy), I realized that my iCloud folders (Documents & Desktop) struggled a bit and didn’t seem to sync with iCloud anymore. Note: Once the online-only file has been downloaded, the file icon will change to a green checkmark.
