Nov 13th I upgraded to High Sierra. During the boot proces the password for iCloud is asked (I think I entered it correctly). However a spinner started spinning (basically forever). So I shutdown the Mac (button back) and rebooted. Systems works okay. Except for iCloud.
Update:
I managed to delete my previous accounts towards iCloud. However I'm not able to connect/recreate accounts again.
iCloud asks for UID/PW and after that a never stopping spinner occurs.
No difference for wrong UID or Password.
I checked the UID/PW for correctness using different devices/websites.
Also tried other AppleId's.
What can I do to get this working again?

I had the same issue and fixed it as follows:
In your user folder, go to
~/Library/Keychains/(hold down the "option" key when clicking in the "Go to" menu to show the Library folder).In that folder, there are the regular keychains, plus some folders with monstrously long names like
F2555809-AAC0-5CFA-BEF6-57BB56345BIURor some such.I deleted those folders only.
After a restart, my email accounts and everything else had been logged out and the system requested a log-in password to my Apple ID. I was able to re-enter it, and since then, all iCloud services have worked fine, including Photos, iCloud Drive, iMessage, etc. - even text replacement is now syncing fine.
