That is on MacOS Sequoia.
Till yesterday, I may see all my icloud information from inside Finder.
At this time I messed this up within the following manner: I needed to do one thing on the command line with a sure file in icloud drive. To keep away from typing the entire path to the file, I clicked&dragged the file from Finder into my zsh command line in Terminal.app.
Normally, this ends in the abs path of the file being pasted into the command line. This time nevertheless, nothing was pasted, and what Finder reveals now beneath the “iCloud” location within the sidebar, was solely a single listing named “Shared” (which I by no means created – maybe a digital folder maintained by Finder), and this listing contained solely a single file (by the way the one file on iCloud, the place I lately created a public obtain hyperlink).
All different information from iCloud gave the impression to be gone. Thankfully I do know the trail of my iCloud drive when accessing it from the command line, and checking this path with ls -r, I noticed that each file on iCloud was nonetheless as an alternative, simply that solely Finder didn’t present it anymore.
As an answer, I did a
ln -s '/Customers/ronaldfischer/Library/Cell Paperwork/com~apple~CloudDocs' ~/ICL
and now I’ve a symlink named ICL in my house, and once I open that ICL hyperlink in Finder, I can once more see my iCloud information.
This works, however I would like having Finder exhibiting all of my iCloud information once more, and most of all want to know what precisely I did mistaken. Click on-dragging from Finder to Terminal labored up to now with out professional
The screenshot reveals how Finder reveals iCloud proper now. We see solely the mysterious “Shared” folder on the sidebar, nothing else.
