He asked: How to add the iCloud drive folder to the dock.
You answered: How to add the iCloud drive folder to the Finder.

Sep 3, 2016 12:16 PM in response to bluefox34by léonie,True, I wanted to imply, that adding iCloud Drive to the Dock is not possible, and adding it to the sidebar is the way that works best.
We can drag any subfolder of iCloud Drive to the Dock, and if we open it, go to the enclosing folder. or we can open the user library and drag ~/Library/Mobile Documents to the Dock, essentially the iCloud Drive Folder, but it will not let us navigate iCloud Drive as easily as the sidebar in the Finder does.

Sep 3, 2016 8:50 PM in response to mmdrsmrby LinusMoore,- Go to Finder. (Or just click on the Desktop so that the Menu Bar turns into the Finder Menu Bar.)
- Click "Go" while holding the "Option" key. (Holding the "Option" key reveals the "Library.")
- Select "Library."
- Scroll down to "Mobile Documents" and drag this folder into the Dock.
- Click on the new "Mobile Documents" folder shortcut on the Dock, and find the "iCloud Drive" folder. Click and drag it down to the Dock.
You can now pull the "Mobile Documents" shortcut off of the Dock and let it poof away. You must temporarily put it there on the Dock, though, because that's the only way (so far as I've found) that you can actually navigate to the iCloud Drive directly and see it in a list of folders, which is what you need if you are to drag and drop it on the Dock. If you just try to double-click on the Mobile Documents folder from within Finder, the iCloud Drive folder will just pop open in its own window and then you're stuck again with no way of pulling it down to the Dock.
For some reason, though, the more circuitous route above works.
Good luck!
