When you say "upload a file to iCloud Drive," do you mean at iCloud.com, or on your Mac? I'm not sure what "upload a file to iCloud Drive on Mac" means. Of course, we can't see your computer or what you're actually doing, so we need you to give us clear information.


What do you see in your iCloud Drive on your Mac? Can you drag a file to the iCloud Drive folder on the Mac?
