Where have all my files gone?

I turned on iCloud Drive on my Mac Monterey 12.5.1 and I can't find any of my files. My Document folder has nothing in it except an Adobe folder. Where has it all gone. I'm panicking here. I need to find my stuff!

iMac 27″, macOS 12.5

We need to look into your crashing.


We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...


EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. It will not display any personal info.
