iCloud uploading to the cloud extremely slow

I use iCloud for business and the syncing between the desktop and cloud is super slow. I have a gigabyte connection up and down as shown below. The traffic analyzer from the router is listed and shows that at most its using 6mbs of the ~900mbs service. I have been trying to sync a 380kb file to cloud now for 21 minutes and I still cannot use the file. In addition, I see the prioritization feature has been removed to upload files more quickly. This is totally unacceptable - if you want businesses to use your services, please provide an acceptable resolution to the issue. Look forward to your response. Thanks.

Hello carvajalp,


There could be several reasons that iCloud is slow. Some of them are low power, poor network connection, insufficient iCloud storage, software issues or devices not set to the same time and date, or an internet speed that is too slow. Which in this case we can see from the screenshot you provided that speed isn't the culprit here.


Do you by chance have any other clouds running like Google Drive or something different?

Can you change to try a different Wi-Fi network?

How much data are you syncing?

Are your devices connected to the network via Wi-Fi or ethernet cable?


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!

I have an almost identical issue. iCloud just doesn't finish syncing stuff, even small files that have been waiting to sync for a while. Some stuff seems to suddenly move quicker and finishes but older files that have waiting to upload just.... don't. I'd like to use iCloud to make life easier but it is WAY too slow uploading from my desktop to the cloud. For photos on my iPhone to iCloud it does seem to go WAY faster which is frankly just demoralizing.
