Can I save what is on my external hard drive to the cloud?

Hi! I moved very large files from my desktop to an external hard drive to free up space, however, they are no longer in the icloud since my icloud is synced to my desk top. I cannot rely on the hard drive solely since I have had them go bad in the past. Is there anyway to save what is on my hard drive to the icloud?

If you have the Sidebar enabled in Finder-Preferences you can open up Finder, click on "iCloud Drive", and drag files from your external hard drive to there. It will show a "cloud" icon until the file(s) have actually been uploaded into iCloud.

Keep in mind the free iCloud plan only has 5 gb total space unless you are on a paid monthly iCloud storage plan.
