I have read all the documentation of apple support. I set up Desktop and Documents Folders in iCloud drive. I still can not reach my files from my new macbook pro. On my old one everything is fine. I am logged in with my apple ID and signed in to iCloud. I compared the settings on the two machines and they match. My old machine has Monterey my new has Ventura. What is going on?
MacBook Pro 13″
Thank you very much, GIna_D! I read that support article before, but things did not work even though I followed it.
I solved the problem since, with the migration assistant. It was still weird afterward, because in Finder I still had to trash the standard iCloud folders manually from the sidebar, because they contained nothing, but I could access my real data through the file browser window without any trouble. So problem solved! I am sorry I forgot to remove my post, and you spent time with it!
Thank you again!
Hello erdibalazs,
We have a great support article that might help with this. To star out by making sure everything is set up properly, please take a look at that article here here: Access and manage your files in iCloud Drive - Apple Support. Follow this guidance:
"Access your files in iCloud Drive
Sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all of your devices. Then you can access your files in iCloud Drive in a number of ways.
On your Mac
You can access iCloud Drive in the Finder on your Mac.
When you add your Desktop and Documents folders to iCloud Drive, you can access all of the files in those folders anywhere you use iCloud. Learn more about adding Desktop and Documents to iCloud Drive.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you're on a device with iOS 11 or later, you can access your files from the Files app.
On iCloud.com
From a supported browser, sign in to iCloud.com with your Apple ID.
On your PC
On your PC with Windows 10 or later and iCloud for Windows, you can go to iCloud Drive in File Explorer.
Work with iCloud Drive files offline
If you're about to go offline, you can download iCloud Drive files locally to work on while you're not connected to the internet.
On your Mac
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
.On iCloud.com
On your PC
If you turned on iCloud Drive using iCloud for Windows on a PC, you can pin a file or folder to keep it downloaded to your device. Any changes you make to the file will automatically upload to iCloud Drive when you're back online."
We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
I solved it! Thank you!
