iCloud

I use iCloud on different device ( 1 macbook, 1 iPad and 1 iPhone) and sometimes it takes ages for FILES to sync. It's like a black box. I don't understand how often iCloud syncs nor when. Also, no clue if and how I can force a synchronization or if I can change settings for more frequent syncs.


Since I use iCloud for business purposes this really annoys me and solutions (for forced synchronization and settings) would be greatly appreciated!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

To force a sync, in the iCloud settings, turn syncing off, wait a couple of minutes, and then turn syncing back on.
