Hello,
I decided to move my Documents folder to iCloud using the new Sierra feature. This is to save space on my Mac and to have a backup along with Time Machine. However iCloud does not upload the last docs I have edited and it is stuck on uploading 82.4MB.
I've already tried restarting my Mac or to kill the daemon but it didn't help.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Stefano

What finally helped me after chat support twice. Tried to Force quit finder (which didn't work and tried shut down and back on as well). Then the rep said to disconnect from wifi and turn back on. easy but that didn't work. Then I logged out of iCloud from system preferences, out of wifi, shut down, started mac up again, turned on wifi then logged back into iCloud and it solved it
I have this exact issue as well.
It's been sitting here for hours.
Try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop syncing. Wait a couple of minutes, then recheck syncing.
Have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in?
I have this same issue.
Don't see the "stop syncing" button in Preference/iCloud. I can sign out of iCloud, but then there are some other steps involved, and I'm not sure which direction to go. Won't to avoid more problems.
Thanks.
Uncheck the box of the item to stop syncing. Then recheck it.
Thank you, I will try this!
You are welcome.
I have 147GB of content. Unchecking iCloud will reset everything. Then I have do everything over again and hope it works better this time. Hmm…
I also was stuck on the "uploading x items to iCloud" problem for Documents and Desktop items (not photos). (If you see iCloud in your finder window Sidebar, then click on the little i in the circle, you'll see that popup.
To solve this, go to the iCloud System preference, then iCloud Drive "Options", then uncheck "Desktop and Documents Folders". It will warn you that unchecking the box will remove the items in those folders from your Mac ⚠, but that they'll be saved in your online iCloud. It will ask verification to "Turn Off". It then gives you the option to Archive all of the items in those two folders, which is what you want to do. A folder called "iCloud Drive (Archive)"is created in your Home folder. You want to chose that option because you then really haven't deleted those items from your Mac (their not even compressed), and they are recovered more quickly when you then turn the "syncing" (as some have referred to it here) back on. (I'm not really sure they are recovered from that folder, but it was quick enough that I believe that's what happened, rather then re-downloading them from my online iCloud.) The "iCloud Drive (Archive)" folder doesn't automatically disappear after reactivating "syncing", so once you've verified the Desktop and Documents folders have been "replenished" again, you can delete the Archive folder manually.
Relaunch Finder
Same issue here, and no solution. Has anyone found out anything?
