Why it take SO LONG to download files from iCloud? 1 entire day to download only 16 mb.

Why it take SO LONG to download files from iCloud?

All my files in my Mac are in iCloud (I have 2T and a lot of space left) but to access these it takes an impossible amount of time and it could take 1 entire day and download only 16 mb. I actually can´t access them.

My wifi works great, we tested it, I tried with my phone data, and it happens the same.


Can you please help me?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

Hi clarabaade,


Because it is taking a long time to download files with multiple networks, meaning you are connected to Wi-Fi, see if the steps in If your Mac isn't connecting to the internet over Wi-Fi help. These steps include:


  1. Restart your Mac
  2. Update your Mac
  3. Check VPN or other security software
  4. Use the built-in diagnostic tools
  5. Update the Wi-Fi router

Take care.
