Hello keshavfrombangalore,


If you are able to do so let's connect your Mac to a different Wi-Fi network to see if that behavior persists from there. That should help to further isolate a potential networking conflict.


Do you sync any other devices with iCloud? If so, are other items syncing as expected via iCloud? You can test that by creating a new, temporary contact entry on your Mac, and then check to see if that entry appears on your other devices or the iCloud website: iCloud


Let us know, and we'll keep moving forward based on your results.

Hello keshavfrombangalore,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. If you haven't tried yet, we recommend to restart your Mac in safe mode. This is a step that helps to verify your startup disk, delete some system caches and more. Once the Mac is in safe mode, please restart it as normal and see if the iCloud folders sync without an issue. Here's how to restart a Mac in safe mode:


Start up your Intel-based Mac in safe mode
1. Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key until you see the login window.
2. Log in to your Mac.
3. You might be asked to log in again.
4. On either the first or second login window, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.

Following these steps may help and is outlined here: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support


Kind regards.
