Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello anyone!
I signed out from iCloud on my MacBook and lost all iCloud drive folders on the computer. After signing in again, I could not see those folders automatically downloaded from the cloud into the Drive. Is this normal? How to bring back these folders?

What types of files can I store in iCloud Drive?
You can store any type of file in iCloud Drive, as long as it's 50GB or less in size and you don't exceed your iCloud storage limit. That means you can keep all of your work documents, school projects, presentations, and more up to date across all of your devices. Learn more about managing your iCloud storage.
You shouldn't store app folders, libraries, or .tmp files in iCloud Drive.
And as per this article https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19386?locale=en_US
With iCloud Drive, you can securely store your files in iCloud, and access them on iCloud.com and all your computers and iOS devices. With macOS Sierra or later, you can have all the files in the Desktop and Documents folders on your Mac stored automatically in iCloud Drive. That way, you can save files right where you usually keep them on your Mac, and they become available on iCloud.com and all your computers and iOS devices.
