Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

How can I access documents saved to /Library/Mobile Documents/com-apple-CloudDocs/ ?

How do I get to the documents stored at the below destination?

User uploaded file

When I try to open the file in word I get the error message 'this document is either deleted or not accessible'.


When I saved it I did not do anything different?


Thanks.

Hi Eric


Many thanks for the above.

When you say 'Go to Finder' and select 'Home Folder' - this are the only options I see.

What one should I select?

The com-apple-CloudDocs folder is iCloud Drive, not the Documents folder on iCloud Drive, Alice.


In the iCloud Section of the sidebar, click iCloud Drive, not "Documents". Search for a folder with a name starting with "Ni" as shown in your first screenshot.



To open com-apple-CloudDocs directly, you could also launch the Terminal and then copy this command into the Terminal and hit return:

open ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs


To see a list of all files and folders there type this into the Terminal:

ls ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs
