How to move Documents folder to where it belongs - my home folder
I have a new MacBook Pro. For some reason, my Documents folder ended up only in iCloud and not on my new Mac - unlike every other folder of mine that is backed up in iCloud and which also resides on my Mac. So, I downloaded the folder to my Mac. However, it was copied to a folder called "Backup" and not the location where it needs to be - my home folder with all of my other folders and files. When I try to move it to where it should be, I get a message that iOS won't allow it to be moved. If I try to create a new folder called Documents in my home folder, I get a message that the folder already exists. However, it doesn't exist in my home folder but is a subfolder in Backups. The files in the Documents folder on my Mac are NOT backups. They are the primary files/folders so Internet is not needed to have full access to everything - iCloud is the backup. This apparent restriction is incredibly annoying and entirely unacceptable. How can I move the Documents folder back to my home folder where it has resided on all my Macs since 2003? I really want to love this new machine but we are off to a very rocky start.
