iCloud refusing to sync

I am currently struggling to get my MacBook Pro to sync my Documents & Data.

Here's what I tried:

Completely wiping my MacBook
Removing the CloudDocs folder
Restarting my Mac many times
Changing my Computer's name in Sharing in System Preferences.

I have had no luck. My Desktop & Documents folder has remained empty and is not syncing, however my other apps are syncing fine.

Ventura iCloud Desktop sync issue I have a Mac Pro desktop and M1 Max MacBook Pro that are both running Ventura 13.0.1. Since upgrading to Ventura I get very sporadic sync issues between the desktops of both computers. New files added will add but deleting of files doesn't work. So it is syncing, just not accurately. I have tried, rebooting, signing out and back into iCloud, changing networks. Anybody else having issues with Ventura properly syncing their desktops between two devices?

It seems some of my files are only on iCloud. How do I keep all on local HD? Hi, For some reason I have to go to iCloud Drive to get many files; takes time to access them. I must have made some wrong choices in setting things up. I want to be independent of the 'cloud' and use it only for backup, if at all. How do I make sure all the files now on iCloud reside on my Mac (Monterey) hard drive? Thanks!

iCloud Drive download icon won't go away I just started using iCloud Drive on my M1 Mac (Ventura) and it seems to work great, except the cloud icon with the down arrow indicating that my files are only in the cloud will not go away. All of my files are downloaded - when I click the cloud icon, nothing happens. Ideas?
