Ever since getting my iPhone 13 Pro, when I download files to iCloud Desktop using the Files app, they do not appear on my iMac Desktop.

I recently purchased an iPhone 13 Pro, and an Air 4. I have 2015 iMac. My iMac is set up with the iMac Desktop as part of iCloud. What I've done for a long time is to download files to iCloud Desktop folder, using one of my iOS devices Files App. Then, the app would appear on my iMac Desktop for me to work on, and eventually refile to another iCloud folder.

Since obtaining my new iOS devices, the downloads appear in the Desktop folder when searching the iOS Files app, but the files do not appear on the iMac Desktop.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thank you for your prompt response. Actually, soon after I wrote my post, I tried to reboot my iMac. Wonder of wonders, the problem was solved! I can’t quite understand, because I know I have rebooted the iMac previously. I did note, however, that prior to my latest rebooting, Finder indicated that iCloud was in process, except, the “in process” never ended. The rebooting apparently corrected it.

Again, thanks for your help.
