Desktop & Documents Unavailable

When I go into my system preferences, hit options next to iCloud, and go to where I need to click the Desktop & Documents option to sync my files mine does not appear. Is there a step I’m missing? I’d like to sync my iCloud to this new desktop. Thanks

iCloud desktop and documents on macOS Hello, I would like to enable iCloud Desktop and Documents syncing but something is not clear to me. If I enable the syncing, do desktop and documents files still remain stored on the macOS usual location other than in iCloud? What happens if I edit a file locally on the Mac without being connected to the Internet? Thanks for helping, Dan

iCloud not syncing across MacBooks (Creating new Documents folder) I had two MacBook pros connected to an iCloud account that were perfectly synced. One laptop had a glitch during an update and I had to erase the disk and reinstall Catalina. Once I did that and signed back into iCloud so that the documents will sync, new documents and desktop folders were created in iCloud instead and I cannot get my laptop to sync back to the original documents and desktop folders instead and download the files. I have found no help at all online to solve this. Everything just tells you how to sync with iCloud.
