Macos – icloud drive sync stuck

icloudmacos

since a couple of days the icloud drive seems to be "stuck". The symbol in the sidebar in finder doesn't go away (pie chart). It looks like it still sycning.

What can I do to find out at which files it is potentially stuck?

Best Answer

Go to the Terminal and type:

killall bird

Check if this fixes your issue. If not, go back to Terminal and type:

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

Then immediately restart.

For 300gb of files, I had to wait an hour for anything to show up in the iCloud folder, and 4 hours for the sync to finish.
