I have files in the iCloud Drive that show up on my iPhone in the files app.
They are hopelessly out of date. Why do I think these files should
automatically synchronize between the iPhone and Mac, as I make changes to them
using either device? Where am I going wrong?

Hi,
You are not you mistaken. They should be syncing. Make sure that iCloud Drive
is checked in settings on your iPhone, and that the specific applications such
as Pages or Numbers are also checked in iCloud settings on all devices.

I have several folders from my Mac hard drive copied to iCloud Drive. I can
access those file from my iPhone using the files app. But what I was expecting
is that when I change the file either on my iPhone or on my Mac, that the file
would be changed acr
setup on the phone as a live connection.

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 alw
Simon,
Answering your question on how did I add folders to my files app…They appear
there because they are copied to the iCloud Drive.

Dave,
The folders in my iCloud Drive are synced to iPhone, Mac and
Windows. Those folders do not exist outside of iCloud Drive. I don't
know if it matters but it is simpler for me to manage things.

Seems to be working now. What I did:
Located the Documents folder using the Dock, and opened.
Copied all the folders and files I wanted to have synchronized.
Verified that any change I made on Mac showed on iPhone, and vice versa — Voila!

I believe you are on the right track now, but what was happening to you was
that you ended up with two copies of the documents. One being synced to your
phone and another in your documents folder. In terms of incremental backups if
you are using Apple's system where when you edit a file you don
Hi,
No need to make an alias. You can use cmd-shift-i to open iCloud and
cmd-shift-o to open your Documents folder.

Tim, now that’s cool. If I can remember those keystrokes it sure does make it
easier to get at the files and folders. However it appears that those
keystrokes are only relevant within Finder. Any way that I can set up global
keystrokes to do the same, regardless of where I am on the Mac?
