Try the following:


To Change the Default iCloud Drive Folder

  1. Disable iCloud Drive from the Control Panel.
  2. Move (not copy) your iCloud Drive directory (C:\Users\<username>\iCloudDrive) to the new location.
  3. 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.
  4. Reboot your computer.
  5. Re-enable iCloud Drive from the Control Panel.
