why is iCloud drive not showing all my folders?

You know iCloud drive has a single file size limit of 15 GB right? Like you can put 500 GB up there but each file must be 15 GB or less...so I'm not entirely sure how thats going to work out for ya.

I have the same issues and I don't really get.

Pixelmator is a folder which contains files (if I open a document in Pixelmator it loads the file from the right iCloud Documents folder. But in Finder this folder is invisible.

When I recall other folders, like iWork (which existed and are converted to iCloud Drive). When I opened the corresponding application, it would show the files in Finder. So, there was a hidden Pages folder (not visible in Finder), I started Pages (I could open every document I had in iCloud), and *bam* the Pages folder showed up in iCloud Drive in Finder.

Is the app (like Pixelmator) yet updated to Yosemite? Could that be the trick?

I have opened apps like pixelmator / idraw etc - they DON'T appear on my Mac's iCloud Drive folder. I have tested and saved new docs to iCloud in both - still no show on Mac iCloud Drive folder (iDraw has an app for iPad / Mac so really should appear on both - folder appears on iPad only). The only app that appears in the iCloud Drive folder across devices (apart from Pages, Preview, Keynote, Numbers - they all appear), is iA Writer.

Taking iDraw as an example; there is no way to access other iCloud Drive folders to import jpegs etc. I still have to go to DropBox, copy the file, then paste it in iDraw on the iPad. I can only guess the developers need to add iCloud Drive as an import option to their apps. But as I said - no iDraw folder in iCloud Drive on my Mac.

None of my files are that large - so that is not the issue.

Count me as having the same issue. I have several folders that I have added to iCloud.com, but they don't appear on my Mac. Even folders created by iOS apps like Scanner Pro don't appear. I also tried creating a folder on my Mac to see if it appears then on iCloud.com and it does not.

I signed out of iCloud on my Mac and let it delete all the iCloud data on the Mac (not on iCloud) then rebooted and signed back in. Everything is syncing up now.

I am also having this problem.

Seems Apple is having again one of their "not our finest hour"-moments. Mobile Me, iCloud Docs & Data, and now iCloud Drive… When is amateur hour over and they just give up on this and buy Dropbox?!

Thing is, they tried to buy Dropbox. But the minds couldn't meet to make it happen.

I was burned today again. I'm a professor, and I edit Keynote presentations on my Mac and then use my iPad to present in class. I saved everything on my Mac, closed down Keynote, then went to lecture and all I saw was a gray shaded version of the presentation I was working on. I'm so sick and tired of being burned by iCloud. The Apple mantra "It just works" has never been applicable to their cloud applications.

Well - I have Drive "things" happening all over the place. When I open iDraw, I get a list of iDraw files that are on Drive, opening from the top of the left column in the finder from a dedicated iDraw (albeit a generic) app icon, outside of the Drive folder - therefore, you'd expect an iDraw folder to appear in the dedicated Drive folder in the finder with the rest of whatever folders decide to appear (it doesn't). I don't really want to go over, yet again, why there are differing folders in www.icloud.com to my Mac and different again on my iPhone and iPad (oh, I just did).

I will post this link again (no one commented on it last time), but it is strange that a simple command in Terminal reveals a folder on my desktop that seems to work exactly as I expected iCloud Drive to work in the first place - Macs had it all along! Here is THAT link:

So - I leave it up to you / far cleverer people than myself as to why the above works, but Apple can't work it with all their massive resources. But then again, they already have - as the link illustrates. Perplexing, odd, strange.

By the way, I was once "burned" by Mobile Me because I forgot to back up my files from there after it closed, losing pics of my kids etc. Never really forgot that. I just stick with Apple though - they're so infuriatingly good. And so is DropBox.

On my mac I quit the applications that were supposed to be using iCloud drive. Then i went into system preferences, iCloud and unchecked iCloud drive. No need to sign out of iCloud altogether. Come out of that and go back in and recheck iCloud drive. In its options choose the apps you want to enable for iCloud drive. When you re-open those apps their folders will appear in finder. Good luck.

Thanks Shako. Having read and tried a number of different things, your suggestion worked for me.

Thanks - but tried that a while ago - doesn't work for me. I have just iWork apps in the drive folder - which differ from folders in www.cloud.com; there are more folders in www.icloud.com - but still not all and iCloud folders on my browser and folders in Drive should match should't they?

Same issue on my iMac, multiple folders are missing, e.g. Pixelmator.

Same issues here as well. I am also unable to delete folders I have created as they keep restoring themselves even after I move them to the trash. Additionally, when those 'deleted' folders return they have extra digits in the file names and sometimes are duplicated.

iCloud drive is a mess, and definitely not ready for a non-Beta release...heck, I am not even sure this is a beta release. All of this is disappointing as I thought Apple would have nailed this portion of their cloud service down after the MobileMe disaster. Ugh.

iCloud on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5s are syncing fine. Yet, iCloud Drive on my iPad Air is confused... files and folders are missing. On iCloud.com, I get error messages when opening Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. Something is definitely wrong with iCloud Drive.
