Q: Force a total ICloud sync with MacAir

I use iCloud with iMac, Macair, and 2 IOS devices. El Capitan and latest updated IOS It just won't sync some files on my Macair and iMac - all OK on the IOS devices -  on Mac I see a soft cloud icon next to some files and a dark cloud icon next to some others - These are files i.e. PDF DOCX etc How do I force a complete iCloud sync?? Tried everything out there in communities, switching on and off iCloud etc etc, I can get these files individually by opening them and waiting a long long long time for them to download, even though I am on a fast internet connection, saving a simple excel file I am working on from iCloud takes forever, its easier to use Office 365 - Apple can't you fix this??

 

Have backed up ALL my iCloud files onto USB disk and considering switching to DropBox, is there a way to MAKE iCloud sync??

 

Thanks in advance for any help
