iCloud icon disappeared ???

Suddenly today, the iCloud icon disappeared from both my iMac and MacBook. I was able to retrieve my files via https://www.icloud.com/ but I miss the convenience of having the icon in Finder. Any insight?

First, go to the Finder by clicking into the Mac’s desktop background, or by selecting the Finder icon on the Dock. Under the Finder menu in the top-left corner of the screen, choose Preferences.

When the Finder Preferences box opens, click the Sidebar tab. In the Favorites area, turn on the checkbox next to iCloud Drive. This preferences box lets you choose which icons you see in the side pane of an open folder window, so you can turn off the icons for things you may never use here. Click the red button in the top left corner of the Preferences box when you are finished.
