iCloud Drive sync refresh in Finder
This is now an issue that has persisted for years. This is a significant and incredibly frustrating problem when you cant effectively transfer, or synchronize files to your icloud drive across your devices.
Yes, I have tried the workaround method of creating a new folder inside an iCloud folder to attempt to trigger a refresh of additional files but that is far from guaranteed. This clumsy method works less times than it does.
It is astonishing that a company with as substantial resources and skilled employees has not yet figured out how to make this function properly either an auto detect and/or force refresh key-combo.
