I can't even import a clip into Motion!!!!!

At one time I could use Motion but now I can't even import a video clip from my desktop!


There are a couple of dozen files, folders and video clips on my desktop but when I select "Import" this folder is the only thing that is visible.


What am I doing wrong?


How do I make all the other files visible?

Then what do you make of this icon:



That downpointing arrow suggests that something needs to be downloaded.

Can you explain that?


Do you have somehow this mixed up with some other online service like DropBox?

You do have an Apple ID, since you are here :-)


You may have set "Documents & Desktop in iCloud" without noticing. It comes up somewhere during an installation or update and it is easy to accidentally say yes among all the dialogs that appear.


Try this: go to System Preferences->Internet Accounts.

Do you see iCloud on the left side? Click it. [If you don't, then it means that the problem is something else entirely]

On the right, you should see "iCloud Drive". Click Options... What do you see? Post a screenshot, if possible.
