Sync Folders Other Than Desktop and Documents

Hello,


I need to iCloud sync folders other than Desktop and Documents. How might this be done?


I tried an alias and $ln -s but neither seem to work correctly.


Thanks

Move the folders you want to sync to iCloud Drive, outside of Desktop and Documents. Ans alias on iCloud Drive will not work, you have to move the folders into iCloud. You can create additional folders for syncing on iCloud Drive, then put an alias to the new iCloud Drive folders into your Home folder. I am just dragging the additional folders to the Finder sidebar for easy access.
