ICloud Cannot Start

ICloud on Windows 10. ICloud was stuck syncing 25 items for 5 days. I signed out and signed back in. Now I get this message: "iCloud Drive Cannot Start. Your Existing ICloude Drive folder could not be archived. Please restart your computer"

I've restarted, reinstalled and signed out and in of Icloud.

Any ideas what to try?

iCloud gives this error: BRCloudDocsErrorDomain Code=2 “Logged out - iCloud Drive is not configured” After updating to macOS Sonoma iCloud kept trying to download and upload a bunch of files and after filling up my drive I got this error: BRCloudDocsErrorDomain Code=2 “Logged out - iCloud Drive is not configured”. I tried rebooting the machine and deleting the Cloud Kit folder but all I got is the same mistake and sometimes it would say to turn on iCloud Drive even though I never turned it off.

error 36, badly. iCloud drive was problematic. not a question, more of an experience i just had for days, and found a solution by miscela, hope it helps. i was not able to copy any folder from the startup drive if the folder was inside icloud drive, to the same drive or to external drives. i can copy files, but not folders. folder copy was working from external drive to the startup one, and also from other directories, for example from application folders to desktop (icloud). the error said that the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in “” cannot be read or written, not showing the folder name. the issue was definitely related to icloud, so i entirely disabled icloud drive and re-enabled it. problem solved, no more error 36. dot_clean did nothing.

iCloud Drive not loading When I open iCloud on on the web, I get a notice that says "There was a problem loading this content" in the iCloud Drive section. I tried again later by clicking the link below the message, but nothing happens. I also tried rebooting several times. The links below to, for example, Documents does work. I have recently wiped this computer, then reinstalled Ventura. This computer is a 2017 21.5" screen iMac.

Hello classicmds,

Let's use the steps from this resource to make sure that Windows is all up to date: Update Windows - Microsoft Support That should help to further isolate a potential software conflict.

Should that still persist, are you able to access the iCloud website on your PC without any difficulties? iCloud Drive

Do you have iCloud set up on other devices? If so, are they exhibiting a similar behavior?

Let us know, and we'll take further steps based on those details.
