Force sync iCloud drive Can you force a sync of iCloud storage? It doesn't seem to update across all devices. MacBookAir 15” M2 Ventura and now Sonoma. iPhone. iPad. All up to date. Please do NOT reply with the standard answer. I already have all my devices signed in with the same AppleID, am on a stable, fast wifi connection and have reset. This is not a new issue, it has been going on for years for me and other people as evidenced by the many questions about this. I get syncing of some files but not others, typically with a hour to days delay. Occasionally it syncs quickly. Files created from the same app in the same folder some sync and some don’t. Across multiple apps and folders. Inconsistent and slow. Apple please add a Sync Now button or menu item. Better yet fix this. It should just work.

Icloud drive isn't syncing "sycned" files I've been using icloud drive exclusively to share files with my windows PC, macbook, ipad pro and iphone. Recently, I added a number of files to the drive (sum ~100GB) via my windows PC. After about 3 months of waiting, none of these files have synced, and I've noticed some other folders in my drive are now no longer syncing either. Further, some files which have been synced in the past, are no longer synced - and there are some files which say they are synced on my windows PC, but are not synced to any of my other devices. On top of all of this, there is extreme discrepency in the synced files when I compared my mac, phone and online drive accessed via chrome. All of my devices have syncing enabled, and are on the most recent versions. This all USED to work flawlessly. I pay for the 2TB teir, so storage limits are not an issue. Any ideas of why this is an issue and how I should go about fixing it? Or is it time I go elsewhere? Thanks,
