No iCloud drive merger or double documents folder?

• Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

  I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

  -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

  -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

  -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

  -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

  -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

  This raises several questions:

  -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

  -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

  -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

  -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

  -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

  Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

  With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

  My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

  If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

  All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

  ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

  I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

• Disable the iCloud macOS Sierra while retaining Documents and Desktop on Macbook

  Hello

  I recently updated my Mac to macOS Sierra and during the installation process I accidentally left the synchronization "Desktop and Documents" on iCloud drive selected. He transferred some of my documents to the iCloud drive and then not others because I don't have enough storage iCloud and record my 'normal' documents is now empty.

  I often work without an internet connection, so it is essential that I am able to access all my documents without cloud. I tried to uncheck the 'Jobs' and Documents and "iCloud Drive" in System Preferences, but it left my completely empty folder documents and deleted all the contents of my office.

  I panicked because all my documents had disappeared from my computer then I reactivated "iCloud drive" and it is now restore all documents that it removed from my computer.

  I was wondering what is the correct way to disable the iCloud drive and recover my documents and desktop in the 'normal' folder and not on iCloud drive without him remove again.

  No problem with iCloud drive, just my personal preference is to have saved it on my computer.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• iCloud drive with Sierra problems

  When I upgraded to Sierra, during the implementation, I registered inadvertently to the top enable My Documents & Desk Top to synchronize without realizing account. Everything was going well in the Finder, until I realized that I was looking for to iCloud Drive/Documents not iMac/Documents and realized what I had done. I went in the iCloud preferences and unchecked Documents & Desk Top iCloud Drive options but I got a pop up stating 'If you keep Documents on your desk and you file Documents will be visible in iCloud drive away. No documents in iCloud drive are deleted. "

  I want to stop iCloud sync my Documents and office of the road and come back as it was before moving on to the Sierra of Finder.

  Hello man pine.
  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message which is more, you want to use iCloud drive and are concerned that you have received the message, "If you keep Documents on your desktop and you file Documents will be visible in iCloud drive away. No document will be deleted from iCloud drive. "When you disable iCloud Drive, the folder remains in the Finder, but you can move the documents from the folder of the iCloud drive to your Documents folder or any other folder of your choice. The only difference is that any changes to these documents will not be synchronized via iCloud to your other devices.

  Best regards.

• How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

  How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

  You can simply drag in iCloud reader, but I pass and move documents in their files app instead. It will probably take a while to download all documents.

  It is not a way to sync without some third party software that synchronizes folders, or learn how to use rsync in the Terminal.

  Instead of synchronization, simply use the iCloud drive in the 'Documents' folder after you move the files.

• My entire Pages iCloud drive folder disappeared.

  I went to update a file that I keep on my Pages iCloud drive, and he was gone. Everything was gone! Numbers and Keynote files were still there, but all of my Keynote files had been deleted (not by me). I was able to recover the Keynote files through the recovery of the iCloud file page, but none of the files Pages are listed. I have TimeMachine backup for all of my Macs, but it does not include the iCloud drive.

  I usually have to access the files from my MacBook Air, but sometimes I edited my home, my work MacBook Pro iMac, my iPhone 6 and my iPad. All have the latest versions of the OS.

  Time Machine backup files from iCloud, but not in an obvious situation. Launch the restore from Time Machine application. When you are presented with the window of time Machine, click the library folder in your home connection directory. Find the Mobile Documents folder it contains. This is your viewer to iCloud.

  At first, your Pages folder may be missing. Start walking in time until it reappears, then double-click the folder to open it. Assess if all of your files are in the folder. If so, then use the left arrow to pull this file Pages, select this folder, and then choose restore. Otherwise, you may need to travel in time to assess whether your files are all present before the deletion of folder and then restore the Pages folder.

• How to save the document iWork on iCloud drive?

  I have 4 files in my player to iCloud.  When I create a new document in Pages and save it in the folder of chemistry, I noticed that the Pages also saves a copy in the Pages folder.  So I find myself with two copies of the document.  The same thing happens with Numbers and Keynote.

  Is there a way to save the Pages (and Numbers and Keynote) documents to an iCloud specified by the user folder without copy also end up in the related app?  THX

  

  When you save Pages documents in iCloud drive, but not in the Pages folder, it will create an alias in the Pages folder pointing to the active page document that you saved in your folder of chemistry. These aliases will be a small vertical arrow under the icon, accompanied by text stating "in iCloud drive." You can right-click on the alias and choose the menu option Show Original.

  The cure is to make your records custom inside the respective iCloud drive: Pages, Numbers and Keynote primary records. These applications have an abbreviation save default Panel. On the right of the Save As the Committee Save: field, you will see a small box with an angle down in it. Click on this button, it will expand your panel Save/Save as and a button new folder will appear on the bottom.

  You select iCloud drive from the Favorites panel column Pages save and then browse the Pages main, numbers, and Keynote files. This is where you click on the button new folder, which will initially show no icons it contains until you save the document. No alias is generated. For existing records outside the above-mentioned applications, you could drag and drop the folder in the respective Pages, numbers and Keynote primary records, and then you can delete the (single) alias files.

• Configuration of backups from iCloud drive: why are there two Mobile Documents files?

  I've recently started using iCloud drive to synchronize documents between my Mac and iOS devices. Now, I want to assure you that I have local backups of these documents.

  I understand that the documents synchronized via iCloud are store locally in my Mobile user home/library/Documents folder. But when I check I made 2 folders: Documents Mobile and Mobile Documents.90391253.  The Documents Mobile folder seems to keep all the records that I created using Pages, drafts and TextEdit.  The second folder has files with obscure names such as ' JFJWWP64QD ~ com ~ goodiware ~ GoodReader. ". Records of Documents that I checked are empty.

  Here is a screenshot of the second folder:

  

  Why are there two folders of Documents Mobile? When you add a folder to a backup program, I would add two folders or just the folder Documents Mobile?

  The second folder (the one your screenshot) is a backup of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, which was made via iTunes. More information: finding and managing your backups iTunes - Apple Support

• iCloud drive a replacement of Google Drive: auto synchronization of folder?

  Because I like to try to stay in the Apple ecosystem as much as possible, I am finally moving to an investigation on iCloud Drive on my Mac as a substitute for Google Drive, which I am currently using.

  Why I use Google Drive: so that my documents on my Mac is accessible when I'm on my iPhone and iPad. (Pretty good the way Drop Box works, I think)

  My question: is it possible to have My Documents folder on my Mac automatically sync with iCloud Drive, so that if I work on my Mac and create a new document (which can be found in the Documents folder), it will be automatically uploaded to iCloud by car?

  I know this must be a matter of common/simple, but my research could not get a satisfactory answer.

  Thank you

  If you have enough room on your iCloud Drive create a new folder called "Documents" and place it in the iCloud drive:

  

  Now select and do drag and drop these elements in your Documents/Home/users folder you want to synchronize with all your devices in the folder Documents/iCloud .

• Sierra of MacOS - iCloud Drive Documents & Desktop keeps Getting Stuck download

  Hello

  as stated in the header after activating the iCloud Drive to include Documents and desktop download stuck guard.

  Since almost 2 weeks I started the task mean to ask iCloud to include above mentioned files. Total quantity was about 100 GB download. I have 1 TB of storage for iCloud. iCloud is always download and always get stuck after about 10 to 30 minutes to download. Then I have to restart after that it starts to load only from getting stuck again.

  I was on the phone with Apple Care who had no idea of what might happen. They Said and I quote "we have no problem with iCloud download and your problem has not yet been recreated by others."

  I find it very hard to believe that I can repro this problem on 3 different systems.

  I have Cable speed of 400 Mbps downstream a 25mbit upstream. I have zero upstream of questions to dropbox or Spideroak at an astonishing speed. ICloud is the slowest I've ever known in my life but as I said after 14 days, it has yet to fill about 40 GB. This is ridiculous IMO.

  If anyone has any ideas on what is once again wrong with iCloud, I would of course tips

  Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to post!

  Try to go into System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing.
