iCloud Drive — where are my files? I set up a new MacBook with Big Sur installed. I have singed into my iCloud account. The iCloud Drive however only shows folders for App documents like "TextEdit", "Preview", etc. But I have many, many other folders I have created in iCloud Drive ... they're not showing up. I see them when I go to iCloud.com and go to iCloud Drive.

iCloud Drive in Mac Finder Hi, In 'Finder' on my Mac, I'm using iCloud Drive. I'm trying to organise all of my files into useful folders etc. The problem I'm having is that other folders seem to be there by default ('Pages', Numbers', 'Downloads', etc). I have tried to delete these but they seem to reappear. Is it possible to permanently remove these folders so that I can declutter my iCloud Drive? Thanks!

Open a Finder window, click the menu named Finder, click Preferences, then click "Sidebar" at the top of the Preferences window and then put a check mark in front of iCloud Drive.
