I had to downgrade my macbook to yosemite and now iCloud won't sync anymore. I can still use it on my iphone, and see all my files on iCloud.com. On my macbook in Finder, there are no files in iCloud Drive, Notes isn't working, and my reading list in safari shows nothing as well.
I have tried to log back in, do a restart, but nothing has helped so far. Any thoughts?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

If you upgraded Notes on your other devices/computers, you need at least El Capitan to sync Notes.
Try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop syncing by unchecking the box. Wait a couple of minutes, then check syncing. Allow time for the sync to complete.

Last resort - have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in?
According to this article, iCloud Drive should work with Yosemite. I don't think Safari syncing has a minimum OS requirement.
I have tried that already, and nothing has worked...
So strange that everything is ok on my phone but not on my computer. When i try to save things it doesn't even save on my icloud account, so it is not connected anymore somehow
Upgrading to El Capitan is unfortunately not possible in my case (Yosemite is the last upgrade that supports Adobe CS6)
And for the rest? Do you need El Capitan as well to sync safari and iCloud drive?
Hello I have the same problem... but in my case I used to had Yosemite ((AND IT WAS WORKING GOOD I MEAN ICLOUD, ITUNES ETC.... BUT IT WASNT LOADING THAT FAST THE APPS) And I upgraded to high sierra to see if that was better but THAT WAS MY BIGGEST MISTAKE and because I have a macbook pro late 2011 was running very slowwwwer than before. So I decided to install again Yosemite... and I have the same problem as you do NOW! I contacted to apple support and they only could offer an Upgrade.... I am still looking for a solution... because if it was going good before and I just needed to clean the HD ...
In conclusion
Apparently Apple wants to forcely make the update to their users .... ;(
If anyone can help please let me know I use CS6 Adobe and I can't upgrade !!!!
The only thing that is sync is the keychain and calendar
Cannot sync iCloud drive to macbook
