iCloud Drive download icon won't go away I just started using iCloud Drive on my M1 Mac (Ventura) and it seems to work great, except the cloud icon with the down arrow indicating that my files are only in the cloud will not go away. All of my files are downloaded - when I click the cloud icon, nothing happens. Ideas?
