Hi,

I just noticed a problem regarding my iCloud drive: Anything that I try to upload on my MacBook Pro doesn't get synced over to my iPhone and iPad. I noticed that it doesn't even upload when I e. g. drag and drop a file into iCloud drive (the circle indicator next to iCloud drive in the sidebar doesn't appear).

Anyone has any idea how to fix this problem?

Thanks and best wishes
Chris

Edit: I'm inclined to think that this issue isn't Catalina related and rather iCloud in general related because Apple's services status website mentions multiple issues (that should have been resolved now but who knows ;)).

Edit 2: Found the solution. When Catalina launched I logged out of iCloud and logged back in to solve the annoying settings red badge notification bug. So far so good. The thing is: I created a few shortcuts to iCloud folders which I always use in Finder a while back. I just noticed that these folders pointed to a local iCloud Archive folder which I guess was created when I signed out of iCloud. So now I deleted the Archive folder which I don't need and created the shortcuts again with iCloud folders.
