Q: What is the name of my keychain file and how do I recover it?

I was having problems with iCloud Drive syncing, where files where not being updated via the iMac, over the past 2 weeks.

I am an inspector, and rely on cloud services to perform my duties, at customers' site. My reports would be updated on the iPad and saved to the iCloud Drive, so when I get to my desk, I can then complete any final amendments, attach it and send a report via email.

 

Well for some reason, this all stopped working the way its should;

  1. Template report
  2. Export documents
  3. Photos
  4. Completed reports

None of the files were being transferred to iCloud Drive via the finder using the drag and drop method from an email to a created folder <Job Ref> in the cloud.

 

So I rung apple support who said, remove the iCloud account from the iMac, switch off then start again. This process cured the problem for about a day. Instead of calling support again, I tried to do the said process, but this time I deleted the keychain from the iMac .

 

My question is: what is the name of the keychain file and how can I recover it?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
