Warning Error: 'iCloud Drive may not work properly...Couldn't Communicate with a helper application' - MacBook Air (2015); High Sierra 10.13.2
Hello everyone!
I'm seeking community help after dealing with Apple support more than once to no avail. I keep getting the following alert message pane as soon as I turn on my device and constantly while working. The alert has the warning pop up: 'iCloud Drive may not work properly. Please check the iCloud preference pane. Couldn't communicate with a helper application'. In the terminal, I have attempted to clear the cache using the "$ sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force" command and I have a host of additional warning errors in the terminal such as:

Does anyone have anyone have any solution(s) to this?
Please note: I am using Alfred 3 over Spotlight and I have an external USB 3.0 Seagate 4TB HDD drive connected that I use in conjunction with the 128GB (IMO is too inadequate even for an entry-level user and should be abolished in future MacBook products to at least 512GB SSD storage with 8GB RAM) and a Sandisk 16 GB SD card that is inserted, but contains nothing.
This has got to be dealing with High Sierra and I know it. I've had my share of problems since blindly switching early on, but this has been devastating since I made the now regrettable switch to OS High Sierra. FYI: I can't wait for 10.13.3 to get out of beta. I will also post this in the High Sierra forum. Please help. Thanks!
