Can a folder be stored in the cloud as well as on the desktop?

I would like to have only one of my folders that I keep on my desktop, also to be available in the cloud so that it can be acessed on my iPhone as well. I do not want all the folders from my desktop to be in the cloud, and I would like to be able to SEE this folder on the desktop as well. Is this possible to accomplish, and if so how does one go about making this happen?

If you only plan to sync a few items, drag those items into the iCloud Drive folder on your Mac. Only files in that location sync (unless you also enable desktop and documents in which case those locations sync too).
