Hello,
Earlier I tried to add the iCloud Drive folder introduced in Yosemite from the Favourites to the Dock, not knowing that this is impossible or that I was doing it wrong, it got deleted from the sidebar and can not figure out how to put it back. I can still access it from the Go menu but can not figure out how to add it to the sidebar again.
Please could someone help me out?

Go to Finder -> Preferences -> Sidebar and check the iCloud Drive box.
It's pretty much impossible to get the complete iCloud Drive folder in your dock. I did, however, find out how to ad just the folders from iCloud drive that I manually added.
It's a bit of a workaround, but this is how I did it.
- In finder you have to use go to folder (CMD+SHIFT+G) and navigate to ~/Library/
- Scroll down to Mobile Documents (This folders seems empty, but actually all your iCloud folders are hidden here)
- Drag Mobile Documents to your dock (Once added to your dock you can see it's contents).
- Look for the iCloud Drive folder via your new dock folder and drag this one to your dock again (yes it's possible to drag a subfolder, opened via dock, back to your dock)
- Now you have a Folder called iCloud Drive in your dock. Remember this only contains the folders you manually added to iCloud drive, it doesn't show the standard folders. So this solution might not be good/work for everyone.
As far as I understand, it's not possible to add your complete iCloud drive folder to your dock. The reason for this is that it's contents are actually fragmented in the ~/Library/Mobile Documents/ folder.
Ow and don't play around (e.g. delete) any of the folders you find under Mobile Documents. This will damage your iCloud Drive functionality. That's a situation you don't want!
Thank you so much man, never noticed that window before hehe x3
