macbook won't upload to icloud

Recently I noticed that items I've copied to the iCloud drive folder on my MacBook have not been uploading, so I can't access them from other gadgets. It's now a total of 3.23 GB. I have plenty of available space in all gadgets and in my iCloud plan. Am I missing something obvious?

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi there, tmann12161!

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're having an issue with your files not updating on iCloud Drive. I recommend checking out this article to Access iCloud Drive files from your iPhone and other devices. Specifically:

"If your files don't update to iCloud Drive

Check these things first:

Make sure that you have enough iCloud storage. If you need more space in iCloud, you can buy more iCloud storage or free up space by deleting content.
Sign in to iCloud on all of your devices and turn on iCloud Drive.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection on your Mac and on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Install the latest versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. See which versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote you can use with iCloud Drive.
Create a new document and save it to see if it uploads to iCloud. If it does, see if your other documents start uploading.

If you tried these steps and your files still don’t upload to iCloud, stay signed in to iCloud and save your updated files to a different folder on your Mac or PC. Then contact Apple Support for more help."

Take care!
