Try the following:

To Change the Default iCloud Drive Folder

Disable iCloud Drive from the Control Panel.
Move (not copy) your iCloud Drive directory (C:\Users\<username>\iCloudDrive) to the new location.
Open an Administrator command prompt and type: mklink /j "C:\Users\<username>\iCloudDrive" "<new destination>" This should create a junction between the old and new locations.
Reboot your computer.
Re-enable iCloud Drive from the Control Panel.
