iCloud Drive synchronisation after restauration (persistant icon dashed cloud and no progression of iCloud Drive pie chart)

Hi,

1 month after a successful restauration from a time machine backup, iCloud Drive does not seem to start to synch: the icon like a dashed cloud ("waiting for download") remains in front of all my documents...

and the icon next to the file iCloud Drive

does not show any progression...

I have been able to re-download all pictures on the "Photos" app and Pages, Numbers, Keynote files are synched.

Do I need to activate something? Or just wait for several Go to synchronize?

Thx for helping

Try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop iCloud Drive syncing by unchecking the box. Wait a couple of minutes, then check syncing. Allow time for the sync to complete.

Last resort - have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in?
