iCloud sync issues

Hello everyone! I recently turned on desktop and document syncing on icloud on both of my macs. After waiting for everything to sync, this attention symbol appears to me near the iCloud entry in the Finder. How can I solve it?



MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4

Hello,


The given icon indicates either a connection or storage issue. First check if you have enough available space for the files you'd like to back up. You can check that in System Settings >> Your Name >> iCloud to see how much iCloud storage you have left. You can manage your iCloud storage here: Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support


If not the storage, then there may be a connection issue with iCloud. In System Settings >> Your Name >> Sign Out of your Apple ID at the very bottom left and then sign back in and check to see if there is still a notification on the iCloud icon. Hope this helps.
