Hello! No one can say for sure, since there are many factors that can affect download speeds:

  • The strength of the network connection
  • The model of your iMac
  • Possibly the amount of available storage
  • How big the download is

and much more.


My MacBook Pro (Late 2013) is running macOS Big Sur, and for me, syncing to iCloud takes less than a minute. I often don't even notice! This may differ from your experience.


I hope this answers your question!
