Force sync iCloud drive

That was an interesting read. Thank you.

I am still having this problem - Intermittently. I just did test files and all synced within a minute. Earlier today it wasn't working. I resort to sending files with Messenger and then saving them on my other devices. Very wasteful of my time. It should just work.

This problem has been going on since at least back as far as Sierra, High Sierra & I have had it now in Ventura and Sonoma. This is across multiple Macs including my new November purchased MBA. Everything is fully up-to-date, Resets, off&on, etc. Tried touching files as some people mentioned but when it isn't working that doesn't help and when it is working that isn't necessary. Clearly that is triggering something for some people though.

Since it works some of the time that proves that my system and my high speed fiber optic internet connection (250MB/s) are not the problem. Also, this happens around the world. I live in Vermont, USA but have had it work and not work in Boston, MA, Doha, Qatar, Manila, PH, Mindanao, Philippines and other places. Right now I am in the Philippines and have great fiberoptic service - it works great right now but at other times not. Just like at home in Vermont.

Clearly given all the user reports of this problem and the long history of the problem (>12 years) this is something they sorely need to address. It appears they have a fundamental issue going on.

Interesting reading. That isn’t what I am getting but I wonder if this is part of the issue on the backend. 🤔

Nope. Wrong answer. Thumbs down. You clearly do NOT read my post. iCloud is not syncing. I have a high speed stable connection.
