Thank you Zinacef.

I had documents that were synced but documents saved after the purchase of my iPhone 12 were syncing to my Files app. The solution was to take Documents off iCloud and reload it back on to iCloud.

Files on iPhone — how do I get them onto my Mac??? I am on a iMac synced to my iPhone (both just updated). How do I move the files that are in the Files app (on my iPhone) to my Mac (I don't care where on my mac, just anywhere on the actual computer so I can actually use them!) They are connected now by a USB cable but I still don't see any way to make this connection.
