iCloud Drive files not showing up

Finder sidebar shows the drive icon.

However the Finder window remains empty.

In system preferences all the relevant boxes have been ticked.

So why my iCloud window does not show anything:

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.2

Unable to turn on iCloud desktop and documents I just received a new to me Macbook Pro M1 and I am struggling to get my desktop items and folders to appear. I try to turn on Desktop & Documents folders but then it just spins. If I click done and then go back in its turned off again. When I click on the iCloud drive ? icon in Finder it shows downloading 1 item 0 of 1 byte. I've tried restarting, signing out and signing back into iCloud. Attached is an image of whats going on.

iCloud synced Document folder does not show correct folder path First of all, I am on a 14 inches Macbook Pro (2021, bought 2022), 16GB ram, M1 Pro, running Sequoia 15.5. I noticed the following strange behaviour. First, iCloud sync with Desktop and Document folder is turned on. And I have the Finder option to show the bottom path bar turned on (Command Option P). When I click on the Desktop folder from the left column on Finder, it shows the iCloud file path on the bottom, as you can see (Mesa means Desktop). Also if I select a file, it shows the iCloud path: Notice the left bar is still within iCloud too. Now, if I click on Documents instead of Desktop, the bottom folder shows this: Notice the left column is within the iCloud section, but the bottom bar shows a local HD path. However!, when I select one of the files in that same folder, it shows an iCloud path: I suppose this is not expected behaviour. When I go on my Files iPhone app, the Document folder expectedly shows an iCloud path — it couldn't possibly show a MacBook path anyway. Can someone reproduce this same discrepancy? I have talked to common and senior technicians over the phone and chat and they agree the paths should not be inconsistent like that.

iCloud logo always present next to iCloud Documents in Finder on Mac Is it normal for the documents folder for iCloud if you have iCloud Drive turned on to always have the cloud logo present next to the documents tab in finder in Mac os26? Because I am nearly sure it wasn’t there a few days ago. But it has been stuck like that for days now. Is there anyway to to find out what is going on?
