100+ Gb iCloud sync upload goes really slow

Yesterday my mac started to sync my Desktop & Documents to my iCloud, it's arround 136 GB but it is going really slow... it's going from 850 MB to 825 MB and back & forth. It isn't really moving further...

iCloud Drive file upload isn't progressing My file upload to iCloud Drive isn't progressing. Info reads 'Uploading 11 items' ' 0 KB of 60.09 GB'. It has been like this for 2 weeks. No progress. There's enough storage available. Internet connection is fine. What can I do to correct this? I'm using MacOS Monterey 12.4. Thank you for your consideration and time.

iCloud Drive sync VERY slow Hi! I just migrated all data from an old MacBook to a new one. iCloud Drive is taking FOR EVER. At this rate, it'll take days. My internet connection is always above 100 mb/s, download and upload. Is this normal?

iCloud Drive Upload Unusably Slow I decided to start using iCloud Drive in hopes of retiring my use of Dropbox. I dragged a folder that is 100G from my iMac HD onto my iCloud Drive. That was well over 24 hour ago and the upload is at less that 1% complete. At this point, it would take well over 100 days for this folder to be available in iCloud. I tested the same folder this morning with Dropbox and it took about an hour to upload the entire thing. My ISP upload rate is averaging around 100MB per second using speedtest.net. Is there a "first aid" for iCloud option that may resolve this? Or does iCloud always perform at a mid-80s dial up modem connection rate? FYI, I'm on Big Sur and a 2017 iMac
