Several iCloud Drive (Archive) Folders Exist on My Mac | Is there a way to combine these without deleting files or folders?
Hello Everyone --
According to a Senior AppleCare Advisor, these iCloud Drive (Archive) directories are created every time one logs out of iCloud Drive in order to back up the user’s files. Unfortunately, I did not know this when I was previously instructed to log out of iCloud each time by an AppleCare Advisor.
Because of this, I now have a total of 7 of these, as follows:
> iCloud Drive (Archive)
> iCloud Drive (Archive) - 1
> iCloud Drive (Archive) - 2
> iCloud Drive (Archive) - 3
> iCloud Drive (Archive) - 4
> iCloud Drive (Archive) - 5
> iCloud Drive (Archive) - 6
Each of these has a significant copy of my folder structure, as well as many files.
I would like to know if there is a way to combine each of these Directories / Folders so that I would have only 1 iCloud Drive (Archive). Further, could I then move the single iCloud Drive (Archive) into my Users folder so that I would have no duplicate files or folders?
What I am trying to find out is if there is a particular way to drag and drop these together without ending up deleting anything by combining them, or in the alternative, is there a Terminal command such as ‘Move Directory’ that would do it?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your consideration!
