Documents and Desktop folders in iCloud
The Documents and Desktop folders on my iMac seem to be gone. All that remains are the ones in my iCloud Drive.
This is what's in my iCloud Drive:
This is what is on my hard drive:
The Documents Folder and Desktop folder no longer appear here.
I thought that when I upgraded to Sierra and synced the Desktop and Documents folders to iCloud, they would "mirror" -- much as they do with Dropbox. Now it appears that they have actually moved into the Cloud.
My concerns are:
1. If I lose Wi-Fi, how can I work on my documents if the Documents folder no longer exists on my iMac?
2. I use a Time Capsule and Time Machine to back up my hard drive. Am I no longer creating backups of the items in my Documents folder and my Desktop? If not, I feel confident that Apple is doing a good job of backing up everything in iCloud -- but how can I resurrect an old version of a file if I accidentally delete it or if it becomes corrupted?
