How do I add iCloud to Finder sidebar

Step 1: Go to Finder

Step 2: Click Preferences

Step 3: Now click on Sidebar tab

Step 4: Check the iCloud Drive box.

iCloud should now show up in the sidebar of your Finder.

Apparently tthis is off topic because iCloud drive didn't exist when the question was asked. My answers have been removed otherwise you'd already know I answered similar to that.

This is why partially relevant answers should not be removed.

what?! that's ridiculous! I couldn't seem to find the answer anywhere online. I guess you could ask the question on a separate thread and answer your own question but at that point you're just doing Apple's work for them.

The correct answer is the one before yours, it's totally relevant.

I know mikerudolph22. My comment referenced the keyboard shortcut, which is still Command+Control+T by the way Csound1, which was reported by the aforementioned white knight, as being off topic and irrelevant because I was referencing iCloud Drive, where as the original post was referencing Mobile Documents, which evolved into iCloud Drive since 2012 and became more user friendly in the process. The resulting argument pulled all posts on the issue.

No doubt your valid response and discussion will also get flagged because it doesn't reference an obsolete product, causing continued confusion. This is the problem when sites like this one don't close threads when they become completely irrelevant. Mobile Documents no longer exists, in the capacity it did in 2012, so this whole thread needs to be removed, as to stop people attempting to answer the question based on the 2015 iCloud Drive implementation.

Hopefully the moderator can see this time that the information is relevant.

Can't you let this go, the service no longer exists and your answer has nothing to do with the question.

Get a life.

The solution to "How do I add (insert any folder on the Mac) to the sidebar" is: Navigate to the folder in Finder and press Command+Control+T.

If my previous answer was still here, I wouldn't have to come back. As Mikerudolph22 stated: "I couldn't seem to find the answer anywhere", which is why he commented; and now we have a duplicate situation of one party confusing 2012 iCloud with 2014-15 iCloud. Let it go, clarification has been made.

Apple needs to get this right. I agree it is so frustrating and this is why like Norbert Dentressangle I am using dropbox for everything now.

1. Start with the Finder application displayed on the screen.

2. Click "Finder" on the application's menu. Then, select "Preferences", then "Sidebar".

3. On the pop-up, check the "iCloud Drive" box.

- The sidebar now contains an iCloud Drive favorite.

NOTE: In Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite and El Capitan the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

For Mavericks, Yosemite amd El Capitan go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring up this window:

In El Capitan you can do this: Finder -> Preference -> Sidebar -> Check iCloud.

Use Go to navigate to your iCloud.

Then, select the iCloud window and use File to add to sidebar.

Control + Command + T is the command to add a folder/file to sidebar.

Finder -> Preference -> Sidebar -> Check iCloud. All your iCloud folders can now be accessed from the favorites in side bar.

I just fixed it as well! Hope it could be helpful for you:)
