I'm finding iCloud doesn't sync unless I drop a file into the documents folder for example. Otherwise it shows like this...
How can you make it sync without dropping a file into the documents folder.

Original Title: How to get iCloud to sync
Any change I make seems to happen quickly. So you could just right click and change the status, for instance, so that doesn't involve sending lots of data. It seemed to me that even doing opening an Info Window caused as sync. But then again, if there haven't been any changes, why sync?
I deleted a file on my phone, and within a minute it disappeared on my Mac. It seemed to me that clicking on files in that folder may have speeded it up-- but that could be a coincidence. 2nd time, doing nothing, 30 seconds.
I noticed that as long as your Mac is switched on, it will automatically receive files uploaded to the iCloud Drive. If its off it doesn't and you have to add, remove or edit a file for it to sync.
Yeah I deleted a file from my iPad and it dissapeared from my Mac instantly. This is because my Mac was switched on. If it had been switched off it wouldn't have disappeared the next time I turned my Mac on, unless I forced a sync by doing one of the things mentioned above.
Yes. If you add a file, remove a file, or edit a file, iCloud will sync.
