My iCloud drive has been stuck on uploading For the last two weeks I've been trying to make iCloud Drive not be stuck uploading. I have been to so many of these threads. So I thought now that I found a solution that I would share it. I'm on Windows and for some reason the Software kept getting stuck on upload. The way I fixed is by right-clicking the iCloud Drive in my file explorer and turning on the option "Always keep on this device" Now if you have a huge drive this might not be the option for you, since you'll have everything on your computer, but it did make my iCloud Drive not stuck uploading Took a few screenshot of the magic happening: Just to name a few things I've tried without success: Installing the latest version of iCloud Changing around firewall settings Force closing iCloud Drive by using the task manager (making iCloud Drive recount everything and start all over) Restarting my computer (multiple times)

iCloud won't finish uploading I have the 2TB iCloud account syncing to my MBP M1. There are two files (together = 1.9GB) that are seemingly stuck downloading for a couple weeks. I don't know why this is happening and I can't tell which files are stuck. Before anything major, I'd like to at least figure out the names of the files. Then I want to know why they are stuck. I have a good internet connection with around 300 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up and it's been a couple weeks, so waiting longer isn't the answer. Reboot done, etc. screenshot of what I see attached MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 MBP M1 64BG memory 2TB SSD

Hello Jan-08,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.

If you are noticing that files or folders are not uploading to sync with your iCloud Drive, we’d suggest restarting your Mac before connecting to a new network.

If you continue to notice the same issue with a second network, you may want to disable iCloud Drive before enabling it again. This should restart the upload process: Set up iCloud features on Mac - Apple Support

For more help, please contact Apple Support.

Have a great day!
