100+ Gb iCloud sync upload goes really slow

Yesterday my mac started to sync my Desktop & Documents to my iCloud, it's arround 136 GB but it is going really slow... it's going from 850 MB to 825 MB and back & forth. It isn't really moving further...

iCloud Drive sync VERY slow Hi! I just migrated all data from an old MacBook to a new one. iCloud Drive is taking FOR EVER. At this rate, it'll take days. My internet connection is always above 100 mb/s, download and upload. Is this normal?

iCloud Drive upload on macOS Sonoma is stuck for a number of unknown files On my (Intel) iMac with latest macOS, Finder says that it is uploading 726 items to iCloud Drive. Just some few megabytes missing, it says. But that never goes away. Not even rebooting helps. And it persists over macOS updates even. (Was the same before the update to 14.2.) Some month ago is was 201 items, not sure when it grew to 726. How can I find out what "items" it is uploading, and whether they truly are out of sync or not. And if yes, get them to finally sync then.

iCloud Drive on Mac never fully syncs I have a 2TB iCloud Drive and use it on my Mac with a 2TB hard drive for the past few years. iCloud Drive set to automatically save drive space. The problem is the iCloud Drive never fully syncs, it's always syncing something. Yesterday, it said it had to upload 35,000 items to sync. Today, it says it has to upload more than 141,000 (where all these files came from I don't know, there was nothing installed or updated and I sure didn't create them since all I've done it watch YouTube and Netflix and browse a few internet sites). iCloud sync has never ever fully completed, not in years, and has never stopped trying to sync. If I want to have a file, like a photo or document, available system wide (also on my iPhone, for example) I have to allow days, sometimes weeks or months. I also have Dropbox with the same settings and it syncs in a matter of seconds. What gives, Apple? How do I get my files synced and backed up? You just raised the price for the One Pass and I don't feel like I'm getting what I paid for.
