Hi all,

I am having an issue where I am unable to view my iCloud files on my MacBook. This issue is very weird because the files are showing in the Recents tab in Finder, but not in the proper iCloud Drive folder. My iCloud is working on all of my other devices just fine, just not my Mac.

I have tried the following:

* Fresh installation of MacOS
* Deleting \~/Library/Application Support/CloudDocs
* Signing out and back in iCloud in settings
* Creating a new user and logging into iCloud
* Killing and restarting the "bird" process in Activity Monitor
* Unchecking the the desktop and documents tab in iCloud settings

^ all of which I’ve found on Apple’s official support forums, or on here.

Currently running on a 2017 MacBook Pro with intel i7. Not looking to upgrade to Ventura or Monterrey if at all possible. I’ve found that my Mac works the best on Catalina. Plus I’m in love with Catalina.
