Why Can 39;t I Download ##VERIFIED## Folders From Icloud

I want to download a folder from iCloud Drive using the web interface (iCloud.com). The only problem is, since it is not zipped, I cannot download the folder. Is there a way to download the folder without having to sync the entire content of my iCloud Drive with my computer?

When you store your Desktop and Documents folders in iCloud Drive, you can access files from your Mac on all your devices. That means you can start a document on your Desktop, then work on it later from your iPhone or iPad and on iCloud.com. Everything automatically stays up to date everywhere.

If you want to store your files in iCloud Drive and another cloud storage service, you can keep copies of your files in both, but you can't keep folders from a third-party cloud service in iCloud Drive. You can keep your other cloud service folders in a different place on your Mac, like the home folder.

You can find your Desktop and Documents folders in the iCloud section of the Finder sidebar. If you add a second Mac Desktop, you can find those files in the Desktop folder in iCloud Drive. Look for a folder with the same name as your second Mac. You can also use Spotlight to search for specific file names.

When you turn off Desktop & Documents Folders, your files stay in iCloud Drive and a new Desktop and Documents folder is created on your Mac in the home folder. You can move files from iCloud Drive to your Mac as you need them, or select all of your files and drag them to the place you want to keep them.

iCloud Drive appears in the Finder sidebar, where you can select it to see its contents. It contains folders created automatically for the apps that support iCloud Drive, such as Preview, TextEdit, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. It can also contain folders you create and files you save or move into iCloud Drive or its folders.

When iCloud Desktop & Documents Folders is turned on, your folders and files may appear with status indicators next to the folder or file names in Finder windows. See Get file, folder, and disk information.

Each app folder can contain additional folders, but can only contain files the app can open. For example, the Preview folder can contain PDFs and different kinds of image files but not a movie or a music file.

Thanks MichaelB2019, regrettably your advice was not helpful. First, I did not delete the files but they disappeared from the folders, which are still in iCloud but empty. This seems to have happened on 7th February, when I was not using my Mac.

My problem of the empty folders is still not solved. Is there anybody who can help me to find my document (files) again in the cloud or anywhere else where they have been removed to, and hopefully hidden? How is it possible that the folders, with the names/labels are still there but that the contents (files) have disappeared?

Coming to your iMac , the folders with files can be shared using file sharing method Set up file sharing on Mac - Apple Support or if it is synced ( signed in with same Apple ID and password on the same network the documents with files will sync , folders don't sync between two Macs .

I also have an issue where my entire iCloud drive has the recently modified bumped to February 8th, and several folders that are now empty (none of their original contents showing in recoverable files).

Thank you, Eric Root, for your reply. Regrettably your advice is only useful to restore documents that were recently deleted by myself. The operation does not refer to the empty folders, let alone the contents = documents that have vanished since February. Needless to say that is is a serious handicap, as I trusted that the cloud, for which I did not ask, would keep them safely for me.

Hi there. This is now happening to me on a regular basis. I regularly use at least four devices on a regular basis (iMacs and Power Books) and the last update my Desktop files are disappearing from all devices AND iCloud completely randomly. This has happened at least 5 times in the past week. I can recover the files from both iCloud and TimeMachine but why on earth is this happening now? I've used iCloud for my desktop files for, well, probably as long as the facility has been available.

I have created a number of folders in Mac Mail that I would love to have access to while working on my iPad or iPhone while traveling. Is there a way to 'copy & move' these folders into the iCloud Mail system?

Create new mailboxes (folders) in your iCloud account, then just drag the messages from the relevant local mailboxes (folders) in Apple Mail to the iCloud mailboxes. Give them time to copy back up to the server, then they'll be available on all devices.

I tried this and I can't move the emails from the Mac Mail folder to the iCloud folder. I also tried doing a copy & paste with the emails in each folder to the new folders I created in iCloud with no luck.

There is, it depends on where you are currently storing them. In your computer, in mail, you should have your mailboxes, then a section called icloud. drag up any folders to that, and it will move them to be available on any mobile device, and the website. Keep in mind it doesn't download them all by default, when you open lets say "receipts" for the first time it pulls them down.

Wondering if you can elaborate on the iCloud folder I should be seeing in my Mac Mail folders on my Macbook Air. I'm still trying to solve this issue a few weeks on now and would love any more advice you could give.

Switched from MobileMe to iCloud many, many months ago. I was able to solve this issue some time ago within Mac Mail. Thanks for the response though. All email (& folders) on all of my devices now. It's not 'Apple simple' but I was able to do it.

If you scroll down to the bottom, there is an iCloud menu title. I just 'dragged' the folders down into the iCloud heading and it 'copied' the folders and their contents there. It took me a little while as I had a large number of folders but it was well worth it as now I have access to all of my email accounts and messages with all of my iOS devices as well as my MacBook Air.

As I receive emails now that I want to file & store, I put them into the 'new' folders that are under the iCloud drop down menu in Mac Mail. When I'm trying to do the same thing on either my iPhone or iPad, the same menus are there as well.

So I updated a machine with a bunch of files on the Desktop and in the Documents folder, and when I upgraded it asked me if I wanted to store these folders on iCloud as well. I hit YES and it began trying to upload everything. Now, I guess I had a large file in one of the folders because the total upload was almost 9GB (i have 200GB of available iCloud space). It failed the upload and has just been stuck on 57kb of 8.89GB uploaded for over a day. I've tried restarting and it hasn't moved. I haven't found a way to quit it either. This has been making my machine incredibly slow and has caused the fans to speed up like crazy. Anytime I try to access an Open or Save dialog, the app I'm using crashes, whether it's Preview, Xcode, Photoshop, or even Safari.

Can any one help me with this? Has anyone experienced something similar? The iCloud upload is still there and still isn't progressing at all (not sure what its trying to upload anyways since the files were all deleted). My computer is unusable and my files are all gone. I have a Time Machine backup from last week, but I will not have access to for almost 2 more weeks so if there's a way to recover my files sooner and kill this upload task, that would be amazing.

I think Apple needs to put a bit more of a delay in that (e.g. maybe two acceptance boxes). When I clicked on the yes box, I completely forgot that I had several gigs of files in both my corporate and personal Dropbox folders as well as my Onedrive folder. It was the Ondrive yakking at me saying the "default folder has moved" that tipped me off to what was going on. Moving those folders created a bit of a "***" moment. It's all good and the experiece I hope will help others as well as Apple really understand the complexity of moving the contents of the Documents folder to the cloud.

hey, I think there is a way to restore deleted file from iCloud. You can find that option by logging into iCloud from the browser and go to setting. Then you will see restore files. However, the files are only kept for some days (I am not sure how long) before it is permanently removed. Good luck.

Great! When i force quit "bird" on my Activity Monitor (which was using 99.7% of my CPU), it stopped the transfer and apps stopped crashing immediately on the Open / Save dialogs. It of course restarted the transfer, but now its actually progressing. I also followed advice from yellowchilli and rechecked the box and now my files re-appeared on my Desktop and in my Documents.

The same thing happened to me when I changed my apple id email account. Everything went haywire and icloud deleted my desktop and documents folders. However, when I go into "all my files" in finder, all of the files that used to be on my desktop are in the all my files section.

On SystemPreferences/iCloud/iCloud Drive/Options, I checked the "Desktop a Document Folder". After several hours, all of my D&D files appeared top be on iCloud. However, the disk usage (Unix command du) showed that my mac's disk usage had not changed. Based on further reading, I decided that I didn't want D&D on iCloud, so I copied (or moved?) the files from iCloud Drive to my mac. When I thought they were there, I unchecked SystemPreferences/iCloud/iCloud Drive/Options/ "Desktop a Document Folder". Presto! my files were gone. Both places. Only aliases remained on my mac that couldn't be resolved. 006ab0faaa
