"Documents" Folder disappeared.

Finder can no longer locate my Documents folder.

Everything works normally, but I can't find any of my saved files.


I did find them on my iCloud web site, but I can't find them on my computer ?


I checked Finder preferences and iCloud preferences.

I do back-up Documents Folder to iCloud and I still have plenty of storage room.


I have relaunched the Finder several times and rebooted several times.


I had the H/W checked out by my local repair shop and everything is running correctly.


What else do I need to do ?


I can get to various sub-directories from alias, but I can't go to Documents.


If I search for it, all the links take me to my iCloud drive.

Do I need to disconnect the iCloud drive ?

  • If you’re using Time Machine to back up your Mac, use Spotlight with Time Machine to find and recover items in backups.
