Many files in my iCloud Drive show as "Not downloaded". How do I download my files to my Mac? I thought that the files are supposed to be automatically synced to my Mac.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
No, with iCloud Drive, everything is stored in the Cloud and accessible to all of your devices running iOS 8 or any Mac running Yosemite. You then have the option to selectively download what you want locally stored on your device or Mac.

Thanks for the reply. How do I selectively download what I want locally to my hard drive? I don't see any options for that when I right-click on individual files in my iCloud drive.
If you enable iCloud Drive on your Mac, and it showing as a drive in your Finder, all files on iCloud Drive are mirrored locally on your Mac. They have shadow copies in your user library and are backed up by Time Machine, if you are running Time Machine. There is no need to copy them to your Mac.
