why is iCloud drive not showing all my folders?

Greetings and Salutations,

Upgraded everything to ios8 on the iPad, and to Yosemite on the iMac and Macbook Pro. I bought 200gb of iCloud Drive storage and then moved what was on an external drive to the iCloud drive on my iMac. No problem. Then I go to the Macbook Pro, open the iCloud Drive and what do you know? Only about half of the folders and documents are showing up! Same thing on the is iPhone 6 and the iPad 2 with iOS 8.

Anyone else having this issue with iCloud Drive not syncing correctly? Appreciate the help!

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), iOS 8.0.2

This forum seems to be about the blind leading the blind. Why doesn't an Apple representative reply with a definitive answer?

This is a user to user forum, if you want to contact Apple its the wrong place.

Thank you, I understand.

Still, with so many people having the same problem, page upon page, would it not make sense for Apple to monitor this?

I will contact Apple directly.

I just plugged my iPad into my computer and it uploaded everything.

In MacOS:

System Preferences
iCloud
iCloud drive: Options
Select apps
"As if by magic," folders relating to selected apps appear in iCloud drive

Worked for me…

This worked for me as well.

All apps where already selected so I deselected some of them and "Relaunched" Finder.

Reselecting the deselected apps and they show up instantly in finder.
