You can't import nonlocal content to FCP.

I'd recommend that you connect the iPhone to your mac and import directly.

If the files are in the cloud, try copying them first to a folder in your local drive, and import from there.

Are you connecting the iPhone to your mac with the cable, or are you getting the files to your mac in some other way?

What exactly happens when you try to import?

What’s the versions of the OS and FCP? What are specs of the media you’re shooting? Are you connecting the camera and importing from the camera or something else?
