Following my upgrade to OS Sonoma my Desktop Folder in iCloud appears to have no files. When I do a Get Info it says that it has 32 GB of data but I cannot see any files in Finder. Of course the Desktop Folder on my Mac also shows empty since it's a mirror of what the iCloud has. My Documents Folder is acting normally through iCloud.
I have had the same problem happen to my Documents folder after Sonoma upgrade. The files are all missing from the folders, but iCloud properties shows the space being used up
Hello Dekaritae:
Overnight the problem disappeared for me and I can now see my Desktop Folder files. I hope this problem has been corrected for you as well - I would certainly miss access to all my files!
The same thing for me, however, I found them all in the desktop folder within iCloud Drive on the Finder menu. to get the files to display on the desktop, I guess it's a configuration issue somewhere I have yet to find
Could you expand on what you did to get the files to display on the desktop? My files are also in the iCloud drive /desktop folder, how did you get yours to display on the desktop? Seems like the local desktop and iCloud desktop folders get misaligned somewhere but haven't figured out how to straighten them out yet.
Sonoma iCloud Desktop Folder is Empty
