iCloud drive issue (songs on the Mac but not showing up in iCloud Drive!)

Hi,

I'm having an issue lately.

My songs are missing from iCloud Drive. Has you can see here :

I found a similar issue in the Apple Support Communities : Where are my songs that were in the iCloud?

So I checked and sure enough my songs are still here, on my computer, in the folder "F3LWYJ7GM7~com~apple~garageband10" :

The problem is, from Garage Band, I can not access this folder...

Does anyone know how can I put my garage band's folder back into iCloud Drive ??

Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

When you save a GarageBand Project, do you specifically select the iCloud Drive in the Save Dialog? If you do so, then the next time you use the Open Dialog to open a GarageBand Project an navigate to the iCloud location, it should be there. A Project can be saved directly on the iCloud folder or you can create a GarageBand folder and store them there. Once the files are stored in the iCloud folder, you should have access to them from any Mac that is logged in with the same iCloud account.

Works fine on my side.

Hope that helps

Thank you for your answer !

Well it was working fine for me until now...

I just did a test right now.

From GarageBand, if I save a new song in the "iCloud Drive folder" OR the "GarageBand folder" (within iCloud), it is saved at exactly the same place! (iCloud Drive's root).

look :

If you look carefully at my second picture on my first post, you can see at the bottom that my GarageBand folder should be in the iCloud folder :

iCloud drive > GarageBand

But if you look at the first picture (still in my first post), you can see that the GarageBand folder is not in iCloud Drive anymore...

Now, if I want to "open an existing project" in GarageBand (as I always did!), if I go in my GarageBand folder (again, as always) nothing change. Even if I use the central toggle and choose "GarageBand in iCloud", nothing change...

It always stays on the iCloud Drive folder, where my GarageBand folder should be but is not....

This is really weird... I'll finish by copy/paste the folder from "F3LWYJ7GM7~com~apple~garageband10" to iCloud Drive...

Thanks anyway Edgar !

I'm having the EXACT same issue. I was wondering if you ever figured out a fix for this?
