what does it mean when everything if FINDER shows the "cloud" icon and I didn't change any setting then everything in FINDER changes back to normal without the "cloud" icon and i didn't change anything? Has someone taken control of my computer?

Here is a list of iCloud Drive symbols that you may see while moving files into or just looking at the Drive in Finder:
A cloud by itself just means that the item is only in iCloud, so if you were to disconnect from Wifi and go to your iCloud Drive folder, you would not be able to open any items with a plain cloud next to them
A cloud with a down arrow, means it it in the process of downloading to your local drive
A cloud with several slashes across it means that it is trying to connect to the iCloud server
A cloud with a lightning bolt means that you are currently disconnected from the iCloud server
A cloud with a single slash appears to mean that the item is ineligible and cannot be added to iCloud Drive because it does not meet one of the criteria for iCloud Drive files
