MacOS – iCloud Drive Documents Folder Not Syncing After High Sierra New Install

finderhigh sierraicloudmacosssd

Today I have just got an SSD installed in my Mac Mini 2012 via an authorised service. I did not ask for data migration because I wanted to start "fresh".

After the initial boot, I found out they have put an image of the New MacOS High Sierra. I followed the installation wizard.

Now, after entering my iCloud details I noticed email accounts were setup, Photos started syncing, etc. All good.

However when I open the finder and go to the Documents folder, it's empty.

Is there a way to manually trigger the sync process?

Thank you

PS FYI: The SSD was shown as APFS and I had to manually enable FileVault.

See the answer here.

Go to Terminal and type:

killall bird
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support
rm -rf CloudDocs

then immediately restart. Wait an hour or two.
