Go to Finder/Preferences/Sidebar/Favorites and check the iCloud Drive box. That should make it appear in the Finder Sidebar.

Can't find iCloud Drive folder in Finder I'm using MacOS Big Sur. In System Preferences I have iCloud Drive turned on, but I can't find my iCloud Drive folder in the Finder. I want to duplicate a few files (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator etc) to my iCloud Drive, as a backup (I also use Time Machine, but it would be good to have them backed up off site). I expected to see an iCloud Drive folder on my Desktop, or in my User account, or in the sidebar of a Finder window – but I can't find it – where does it live? In Finder I can use the Go > iCloud Drive, but I prefer to know where folders are and to be able to see them. Ideally I'd like to be able to see my iCloud Drive folder on the Desktop. Is this possible?
