Unable to activate iCloud Drive on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

Hi, I'm unable to activate iCloud Drive on my MacBook running Yosemite 10.10.1. Some documents eventually show up in my iCloud Drive, but I'm never able to create new ones or download new ones created e.g. on the web or on my iphone. I disabled iCloud Drive for now, and whenever I try to re-enable it I get the following erorr in the Console:

cloudd: SQL error: 'DELETE FROM CSChunkTable WHERE ct_iid = 596', (11) database disk image is malformed

which is repeated for 100s of ids. iCloud Drive works on a guest account and on other devices. I already tried signing out of iCloud on this Computer, but without success.

Is there any way to "repair" this malformed database disk image? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I managed to solve the problem by doing this:

I signed out off iCloud completely, waited for a few minutes, deleted:

~/Library/Caches/CloudKit

~/Library/Containers

com.apple.DataDetectorsDynamicData
com.apple.internetaccounts
com.apple.CloudPhotosConfiguration
com.apple.notes

repaired disk permissions,

deleted the contents of

~/Library/Accounts

as per https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4213134?start=0&tstart=0

and unlocked my Library folder.

I also deleted the contents of my iCloud Documents (Pages,Numbers,Keynote) but I don't know if this contributed to fixing the issue.

Then I rebooted, and signed back into iCoud again. it's working (for now)...
