Can't open any iCloud documents on mac

Hi.

About a week ago, I moved about 10GB of my working documents onto iCloud from Google Drive. All was fine for a while.


Today, I can't open any document into any program. I get a pop up error that says "The document “(null)” could not be opened."


I was able to download what I needed from iCloud.com, so the documents are there.


How do I fix this and keep it from happening again?

Read somewhere that in order to get access to iCloud stored material that is inaccessible, one must first to Empty Trash!?!

In my case, that worked.


APPLE, PLEASE ADD AN ICON OR NOTE WITH THIS INFO ON THE ICLOUD WINDOW AS A REMINDER. THANKS.

You can't open any documents in iCloud. I can't even access iCloud. Fire up the iCloud page and enter Apple ID and password, then answer the security questions and . . . . zilch, nothing just keeps asking for an answer to be put in the answer box (which is already there). Yesterday when I tried I got passed that stage but then the useless programe said my password wasn't strong enough and I HAD to change it. I don't want to change it it's strong enough already. Basically iCloud is unuseable to me. This has happened since updating iTunes also the iCloud upload in Photos don't work either. It just says it's updating 4,000+ photos but nothing is happening, no status bar, nothing. Apple is getting worse by the week.
