iCloud Drive Desktop and Documents turned off spontaneously on iMac
On one of our iMacs, the Desktop and Documents option under iCloud Drive spontaneously turned off, resulting in an empty desktop when iMac booted, which terrified the user, who tends to keep everything on the desktop. Desktop contents were restored from iCloud ok when the Desktop and Documents option was re-selected. But how can this happen? The user has never used the System Preferences App and wouldn't know where it is. The user was doing a lot of sorting of desktop files (especially photos), but recalls no messages or warnings about it.
