Sync desktop via icloud between windows and mac os/ios

[Mikegs]

I use iCloud drive to sync my desktop and documents folders between my iMac, macbook and ios devices. Is it possible to add a windows machine to this setup, so that the windows desktop and documents folders are in sync with the other devices. I realize that it requires a workaround, since icloud drive on windows is itself a folder.

Thank you

Should be possible. I havn't tested it. But you can remove your home folders on Windows.
Heres how:

1. Open an Explorer window
2. Click the little arrow left to the first folder
3. Choose your home folder on the list, it will be the folder with your Username
4. Right-click the desktop folder and select Properties
5. Click the tab "Location"
6. Click the button Move... and navigate to the iCloud Desktop folder, and that should be it.

When you navigate to the iCloud Desktop folder, be a little precise with when you click "Open" in the dialog box. If you select the wrong folder, it can mess with your desktop.
