Synchronisation of files on my iCloud

Hello,


when I store a file on my iCloud, ie on my Mac mini, why I do not see it very quickly at all my devices (iPhone, MacBook, iPad)?? Why it doesn't work like with Dropbox, One drive, Google drive??


Thanks for helping ...

I have same the problem. iCloud sync is horrible compared to Dropbox and google drive.


i can see my files when I log into the browser and go to iCloud. But they won’t show up locally in my Mac.

Hello, this is not the answer

Yeah it is. iCloud is not Dropbox. Fact.


You have asked an unanswerable question. The only reason for a question like that is to suggest iCloud is not as good as Dropbox. Then don't use it. Problem solved.


You said "very quickly" without defining that. Rather than whine, provide some details so that we may possibly help.


I see all my documents on all my devices on iCloud. Quickly enough for me.
