If you have removed a file from iCloud within the last 30 days, Apple will permit you to restore it from the iCloud dot com Settings panel. Otherwise, Apple's iCloud is not a backup service, and files you really want to retain or consider restoring should be on a local Time Machine backup

If using more than one Device to Sync to iCloud - it the files was deleted by one device - say iPhone and you are looking for that same file on Laptop - the missing file would be in the Trash on the laptop.
If the files was deleted from the Laptop and looking for file from iPhone - it is gone.
Depending on how long ago the files was deleted - Log into www.icloud.com and you may or may not still be able to recover the file.
Thx, most helpful. Here's my predicament. When I over winter in the US I take my MacBookPro and leave my iMac at home. I'm looking for the best way to backup and sync the backed up files. I currently back up both computers to separate external hard drives but would prefer to have a single backup source where the files can be synced/shared. I understand that iClouds syncing capability is not all that great. Any suggestions?
Is this iCloud Drive or just iCloud syncing?
In a browser login to..
icloud.com
Do you see the item there?
Thx. Would like to know the answer for both iCloud Drive and iCloud Syncing
Would like to know if they can be recovered from both iCloud Drive and iCloud Syncing.
Dropbox or pCloud.
