Hi Dave, As you probably know, With iCloud drive on your mac computer enabled you have specific folders sync'd to the iCloud environment I think it's documents, desktop by default.
I can't remember if they are included in time machine backups by default but you could have a look at your time machine back up drive and see if they are showing in the backed up content. If they are included then if you put the folders your wanting to add in to your documents folder which should be in iCloud drive then that way everything should be sync'd and backed up as you require it. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Friday, 16 August 2019 2:43 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Synchronizing Files in iCloud Drive Between Mac and iPhone Simon, I understand what you are suggesting. However the “fils” app on the iPhone is the interface to iCloud Drive. I do have iCloud Drive enabled on my iPhone. I’m wondering if I cannot have those files and folders on my Mac hard drive, but instead have to move them to the iCloud Drive and always access them there, whether on my Mac or on. my iPhone. If so, I’d just need to set up an alias to the iCloud Drive on my Mac desktop to make it easier to get at that set of files and folders. If this is the case, then how would I ensure that these files get incrementally backed up using Time Machine?
