I have added a "permanent" external USB Drive for my user folder due to running out of space on my MacBook Air. Now that I have changed the user home folder in settings and reenabling iCloud, my Desktop and Documents are not syncing.
Please let me know if this is a restriction on external drives and iCloud?
Thanks
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

The iCloud syncing service has no ability to "speak" to an external drive.

Thanks for the reply,
I was worried that was the problem. It seems to be the same issue with Microsoft OneDrive, which I use for work... Wish the MacBook Air came out with bigger drives, or that the upgradeable drives weren't so limited to specific manufacturers, it makes it so expensive to upgrade...
Thanks again.
iCloud Desktop and Documents not syncing to external USB Drive.
