iCloud Drive on Mac problems
I am still having problems with iCloud Drive on Macintosh.
I'm am using iCloud Drive (without the Desktop and Documents option) on my MacBook Pro and my iMac. I turned on the Desktop and Documents option on both, removing the local copies. This was not what I needed so I reinstalled both machines from Time Machine backups.
Now the problem is that I have iCloud Drive visible and accessible on the MacBook (without the Desktop and Documents option) but not the iMac. I tried flipping the iCloud options on the iMac, thus wiped out local copies of Documents and Desktop, but still did not see the rest of the iCloud Drive that I have. So I reinstalled the iMac (again!) but even with iCloud Drive switched on and Documents and Desktop option switched off, I still can't get the iCloud Drive mounted.
Is there a solution? Or is it that once you've used iCloud Drive with Documents and Desktop on a machine, you can never go back to using iCloud Drive *without* them? This is a major issue because I don't have a reliable always-on network connection and sync just takes forever. But I also have documents that I absolutely need to access from both machines. However, shared/merged desktop doesn't work for me.
