Where is the physical location of a folder/file saved on iCloud

I have a folder on iCloud that includes PDF files that are automatically uploaded to an application. In order for this to happen, the application wants me to input the folder location, however, I cannot find exactly where the iCloud folder is in finder.

Have you made iCloud Drive visible in the Finder?

Withe a Finder winder selected go to the main menu bar "Finder > Preferences", then click the tab "Sidebar". ow set the checkmark for iCloud Drive. Now you can browse all files on iCloud Drive, if you are showing the sidebar with your Finder windows. Toggle the sidebar on and off with ^⌘T .

Hi Léonie,


I'm afraid this is not the issue that I am facing. I want to extract directly the file to the "physical location" within my drive. I am not sure how to best describe it. But previously, I was able to find all my files in the iCloud using the address ~/Library/Mobile Documents. This, however, is something I cannot find anymore.
