Missing iCloud folders?

When I set up a new account on my Mac laptop only a small number of iCloud folders appear. Only four in total include keynote, pages, numbers and preview. Any help would be appreciated since I have a lot of important other files but cannot access them from this account.

Sorry -- I wasn't clear. I have several accounts on the same laptop (trying to keep mine and kids accounts separate.) I used my normal Apple ID in the new account I was trying to use on my laptop. Everything else syncs just fine (notes, contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. Everything but 95%+ of my iCloud files (all that aren't linked to pages, keynote, numbers and preview)!

Exactly as you said I have multiple accounts on a laptop and in both the accounts in question I've used the same Apple ID (sorry for earlier not being clear by accounts I just mean the separate login accounts on the laptop that appear when you first turn it on.) Some of the iCloud files appear in the new account I set up but only ones that appear in the pages, keynote, numbers and preview folder not all the other ones I have in my iCloud Drive. I'll look into the suggestions/questions in the responses to my questions and see if that helps. Thanks.
