iCloud syncing issues with Mac OS 26 Tahoe

mas OS26 Tahoe syncing issues with iCloud.


Has anyone, found a workaround of iCloud syncing issues with Mac OS 26

In the sidebar, there's an cloud icon , telling me that its connected to iCloud, and none of documents are stored on my internal, (And, I've backups)

Sometime the cloud icon, isn't there.

I've looked into this issue, and there have been comments online its to do with a Wi-fi Problem.

Have deleted, and reset my w-fi, and it still persist.

Any work round?
