Viewing iCloud Drive in Finder

When I open iCloud Drive in the Finder I HAVE seen folders for the apps that can save files to iCloud Drive and files within them that I have saved there. But usually all I see in iCloud Drive is a folder "iCloud Drive Upgrade - Recovered Documents".
Relaunching Finder SOMETIMES fixes it but even when it does it doesn't last. Same for restarts.
Why is this?

finder menu > preferences > toolbar (not sure how it's called I'm in french)
then you should be able to select what stuff you want in the toolbar

d*mn, terence was faster, while i was figuring how to translate "barre latérale"

  • 2 Icloud drive in finder

    Can I add a family members Icloud drive to my finder  thus having 2 Icloud drives in finder.

    No.  The only iCloud drive that will show in the Finder is the one associated with the iCloud account for that user account.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite- iCloud Drive in Finder works, no documents in iCloud web, not documents in iPad or iPhone- both upgraded to IOS 8

    Upgraded to Yosemite- iCloud Drive in Finder works, no documents in iCloud web, not documents in iPad or iPhone- both upgraded to IOS 8

    Well I just fixed this, by sheer luck.
    I did a restart of my MacBook Pro, and after it restarted iCloud was visible and accessible in Finder.
    It seems all that it needs is a system restart.

  • ICloud Drive Not Finding Latest Revision

    Is anyone else having issues with iCloud Drive not pulling updated versions of Numbers files?
    It's getting to the point where the service is so friggin' unreliable that I have to check every single file on my iPhone prior to using it on my Macbook because iCloud Drive just seems to refuse to pull the latest revision of a file in Yosemite. I'm fine as long as the last time I updated the file was on the Macbook, but if I update it on my desktop, on iCloud.com, or on any of my iOS devices, the Macbook won't ever find the newer versions of the file.
    The only success I have is turning iCloud Drive off (allowing the files to be deleted from my system) then turning iCloud Drive back on. This will pull the latest versions only there's no way to prioritize the order of the files or which files to sync so it can take an hour or more to get everything back onto my system so that I can open it.
    Any ideas short of dumping iCloud Drive and using a reliable service like Dropbox?

    Hey Tim Klein,

  • Replace iCloud Drive in Finder

    My lady accidentally removed iCloud Drive from her Finer menu.  How do we get it back.

    To get iCloud Drive back in the Finder sidebar, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (in the menu bar) -> Preferences -> Sidebar, and tick "iCloud Drive".

  • Viewing Hard Drive in Finder

    Ok, here's what I did. In the process of saving a file, I click the mouse a little too early and dragged the icon for the Hard Drive out the left toolbar in the finder, so that it is no longer visible. How do I undo what I did? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello Sunil Gubbi,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that you'd like to know on how to access your files on iCloud Drive.  Please take a look at the information below on how to access the files.
    You can access your files in iCloud Drive any of these ways:
     Using any supported web browser, you can go to iCloud Drive or iWork for iCloud beta at iCloud.com. In iWork for iCloud beta, you can find your Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files.
    On your Mac with OS X Yosemite, you can go to iCloud Drive in Finder.
    On your PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud for Windows 4.0, you can go to iCloud Drive in File Explorer.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8, you can access your files from Apple apps like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, or any apps that support iCloud Drive.

  • 2 user accounts using 1 iCloud drive account, different folders and files for each user.

    I have two user accounts on my Mac. One for work and one for personal use.
    They both share my iCloud and iCloud drive account. My issue is that when I update the files in my work account the changes do not take place when I log into my personal account on my mac.. I find this strange seeing as I am only using one account for both.
    This means when I am working and make folders or rename files and folders they only appear when I view iCloud Drive from that user profile. When I try to view iCloud drive from my personal user account or other iOS devices like my phone the old changes remain.
    Has anyone any ideas why this is?

    Because iCloud drive is not shared between users.  Each account has it's own storage.  It is NOT shared.

  • How to see photos on icloud drive with iphone 5c ios 8.1

    Go to iCloud.com on a computer. To see them on your iPhone go to iCloud.com in Safari. Tap the URL field. Pull favorites down and tap request desktop site. Sign into your iCloud account. Now you can view iCloud Drive or Photos if you turned on iCloud Photo library.

  • Can't open documents or images in iCloud Drive

    In an effort to stop using a competing cloud service and keep everything in iCloud Drive, I moved all my folders from OneNote to iCloud Drive in Finder. In iCloud Drive online there is no problem...every folder is there along with all the files and everything is fine.
    That said, when I try to access any of the files, images, or documents on my iPhone or iPad, they're mostly all greyed out. I go to any iWork app, click on the "+" icon at the top left, then select "iCloud". This brings up my iCloud Drive UI and all the folders are there...but they're all greyed out. If I try to tap or scroll in that UI it closes and kicks me back to the home folder of whatever iWork app I was using (Pages or Numbers).
    If I can't access documents, text files, PDFs, and images in iCloud Drive on my iOS, what good is it? I might as well go back to Microsoft OneDrive and their supporting Office apps which actually work great in iOS with the most recent updates. I'm just trying to stay within the Apple ecosystem and it's difficult to do. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Welcome to the Apple forums
    Looking back through some notes I made, Pages '05 doesn't work well in Snow Leopard. Even '06 has some limitations when opening Word files.
    I suggest getting a newer version. I think it is likely we will see updated versions of the iWork apps when the Mac App Store goes live. I suggest you download the iWork '09 trial which you can use for 30 days. In the meantime you can find legal copies of iWork '08 or '09 at greatly reduced prices through Amazon.com or on eBay.

  • Turn iCloud Drive off without file deletion?

    Hi,
    I accidentally turned iCloud Drive on because I was trying to get Mail Drop work (I was not successful).
    Now, I wanted to sign out of my iCloud, but this appeared:
    What do I do?
    I was not signed in before and was completely fine with it.
    Also, I have one more discussion open if you could help (restore i Tunes library from external hard drive back-up performed by TimeMachine):
    Re: How to restore iTunes library from TimeMachine external hard drive backup after clean install

    Look in the iCloud Drive in Finder, keep this simple. Close the box that is open, you are not ready to sign out yet.

  • ICloud drive disk still full AFTER upgrading to 1TB storage space

    Hello,
    I just bought the $19.99/month 1TB iCloud storage plan so that I can back up all 800GB of my iMac data to my iCloud Drive. However, when I drag and drop my files over to my iCloud Drive in Finder, it says disk full. Am I doing something wrong? There should definitely be more than enough room. I have also checked to make sure my storage plan was indeed upgraded correctly in iCloud management and there is definitely a full 1TB of available space.
    I have even tried backing up my files to my iCloud Drive using Time Machine. My understanding was that with the Yosemite 10.10.2 update, iCloud Drive should now show in Time Machine's preferences as a back up drive option. But after upgrading to 10.10.2, I still do not see it in there as an option.
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance.

    So is there no way of not creating the shadow copy on my local machine also?
    No, iCloud Drive is meant for the working copies of your documents - to store them on a central location in iCloud and update them on all your devices. The shadow copies are there, to guarantee, that you can access the documents, when you are offline.  See:  iCloud Drive FAQ
    Sounds like using Time Machine to backup a single copy to my iCloud Drive would achieve this right? But as I said in my original post, I'm not seeing iCloud Drive as a back up target disk option in preferences.
    Time Machine can backup your iCloud Drive, but it cannot backup to iCloud drive. Perhaps you misunderstood, what the latest Yosemite update meant for Time Machine:  (see this link:
    About the OS X Yosemite v10.10.2 Update - Apple Support)
    Adds the ability to browse iCloud Drive in Time Machine
    This means, that you can now restore your iCloud Documents from Time Machine more easily, because you can browse them, but Time Machine cannot store backups on iCloud Drive.
