Enabling Desktop & Documents Folders in iCloud Drive moves the contents of your local Mac Desktop and Documents folders straight into iCloud Drive, syncing them across all your signed-in Apple devices.

Thank you but my issue is not how to use it but to fix it. I managed get duplicate Documents folders with different files and my iCloud sync was messed. I went to ChatGPT and got it sorted without losing files.

Thanks for the reply,

JP
