Do you have iCloud desktop and documents enabled?

Go to the Apple Menu > system preferences > iCloud and review your settings

If you know the name of a file, you should be able to search for it and find it.


Also, take a look at your iCloud folder in the finder sidebar.


Finally, check in your home directory.
