iCoud does not work

[Jeroen986]

Hello all, just received the nice Air M1. However, I can't get iCloud drive to sync. Logged off, dis/enabled iCloud a couple times. I can see it logged in on the iCloud webpage. It is a bit a let-down as I cannot work with it yet. I have contacted the Apple support through the chat. Other then the advice to log off/on and "give it some time" they gave me nothing so far.

By the way: notes and keychain do sync. But the raw iCloud Drive with documents and files do not.

Anyone having the same problem? Anyone that can help me?

Well.. I guess posting this fixed it. It works!
Thank you all

Sometimes the syncing can be very slow as you found out. Glad it is working for you.

Now that I think of it: I unchecked a lot of items in the iCloud Drive options I did not need. Garageband, automator, books, movies, that kind of things. This might have done the trick. The actual sync once it started was very fast.
