Please back up all data, then open the iCloud pane in System Preferences. Uncheck the box marked iCloud Drive, then re-check it. It may take a noticeable amount of time for your data to resynchronize. In the sidebar of a Finder window, a pie-chart icon next to iCloud Drive will show the progress of the download. When the download is complete, the icon will change to a cloud.
