iCloud will sync files from your iCloud Drive folder or desktop and documents if enabled. All files remain in the cloud and on your Mac. If you elect to optimize your Mac, your largest/oldest files will be offloaded to the cloud automatically.

iCloud is not offline storage so what you're attempting to do may not be practical as your Mac's hard drive will fill quickly.
