Q: iCloud Drive on iOS 9 syncing folders partially.

My files and folders are partially syncing on my iPhone 6+ (iOS 9.0.1). This was the case for iOS 9.0 as well.

 

I have about 20 folders that I store on iCloud Drive on my iMac and MacBook Pro. Everything sync perfectly between them and iCloud.com.

I also have the 5 default Apple folders for Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Preview and TextEdit.

Total 25 folders.

 

The 20 folders are not syncing on my iOS device.

 

When I go to Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Manage Storage --> Other Documents: All documents and data are encrypted and I cannot see what is what.

On my MacBook Pro and iMac, File Vault is set to OFF. It was on at one point in time, and then I turned it off. I would assume File Vault will decrypt files when it is set back to off (despite taking hours and hours).

 

I tried setting up my phone as a new iPhone then reinstalling my backup.

I also tried setting up my Phone as a new phone and then simply signing in to iCloud.

I spent 2 hours at the Genius Bar with no success.

I spent 45 minutes with Apple Support over the phone with a Senior Tech Advisor who is bringing this up to Engineering.

 

Why won't my files sync on iCloud Drive for my iPhone 6+? Too much time for such a trivial feature that Google, Dropbox and Microsoft have already figured out lightyears ago.
