iCloud Drive app is gray out

Hi when I was trying to turn on iCloud Drive, it is gray out. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this issue. The rest apps such as photos, contact, mail can be clicked. Thanks!!

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

See the article How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

open system preferences > iCloud and uncheck the box of iCloud Drive a pop up window appears , showing to keep a copy of documents , and remove from the Mac .

( a ) if you had clicked on keep a copy , they will be archived in home folder that can be viewed by clicking on finder in the dock , take cursor on top menu bar > Go > Home > your user name > iCloud Drive ( Archive ) .


Double click on icloud drive box it will show setting up , finally it will get checked .

Check other applications box like notes , safari , mail you must at least get benefits of these apps .
