iCloud Drive downloads problem
I have 13,000 documents in my iCloud Drive on iCloud.com (2TB storage).
On my Mac, all these 13,000 appeared in my iCloud Drive folder. They all had a cloud icon with a downward pointing arrow. I am aware it means they have to be downloaded before I can access them.
So, I downloaded ALL 13,000 files from the iCloud folder on my Mac so that I can have access to them - it took more than 5 hours!!
I was convinced they were all downloaded on my Mac when none of them had the cloud icon anymore. So I had access to them.
And now, barely half a day later, all of them once again had the cloud with the downward pointing arrow next to them. So I have to download them again to have access to them.
I can't understand why Mac would download them all, just to "un-load" them again later on.
Is there any help out there please.
