iCloud folders: MacOS vs. iOS

The iCloud folders I observe on my Mac include some, but not all, of the folders I observe on my iPhone. How can I show the same folders on both platforms? The attached photos illustrate the difference.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.4

Hi number_53,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities.

It looks like your Mac isn’t showing all the folders that are in your iCloud Drive and we’re happy to help! If your Mac isn't showing all your iCloud Drive folders, follow the steps below:

"Make sure that you have enough iCloud storage. If you need more space in iCloud, you can buy more iCloud storage or free up space by deleting content.
Sign in to iCloud on all of your devices and turn on iCloud Drive.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection on your Mac and on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Install the latest versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. See which versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote you can use with iCloud Drive.
Create a new document and save it to see if it uploads to iCloud. If it does, see if your other documents start uploading."

If you tried these steps and your Mac still doesn't show all your iCloud Drive folders, "stay signed in to iCloud and save your updated files to a different folder on your Mac or PC. Then contact Apple Support for more help."

Have a nice day.
