Syncing new Macbook Pro with iCloud account

Hi folks. I have just purchased a new MacBook Pro 16 inch and noticed that even though I set it up with the same Apple ID as my iMac, the iCloud Drive on the Pro 16 is empty, whereas I think it should have all my files in there? Or, is it just a matter of waiting for it to update over a few hours or similar?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Hi juz1970,


Accessing your files from all your devices is fabulous! Depending on the amount of data that needs to sync over and your connection speed, it can take a bit of time for the data to appear. Have you gone through to ensure everything is signed in and set up for iCloud Drive on your new Mac? Here's a great guide with steps for that: Set up iCloud Drive


Keep us posted. Cheers!
