iCloud Drive Upload Unusably Slow
I decided to start using iCloud Drive in hopes of retiring my use of Dropbox. I dragged a folder that is 100G from my iMac HD onto my iCloud Drive. That was well over 24 hour ago and the upload is at less that 1% complete. At this point, it would take well over 100 days for this folder to be available in iCloud.
I tested the same folder this morning with Dropbox and it took about an hour to upload the entire thing. My ISP upload rate is averaging around 100MB per second using speedtest.net.
Is there a "first aid" for iCloud option that may resolve this? Or does iCloud always perform at a mid-80s dial up modem connection rate?
FYI, I'm on Big Sur and a 2017 iMac
