Yep, me too, tttobster.


Have had no troubles with my iCloud drive up until today. Now I keep getting the same error message and can't open ANYTHING from m iCloud drive. Needles to say, this is stressing me out as there really things I can't access that I need to.

I have the same problem: on my MacBook, the iCloud Drive folder does not show the Keynote, Numbers and Pages folders, and when searching for documents in the Finder it finds them, but I get the error The operation couldn't be completed.(NSFileProviderInternalErrorDo- main error 12.)


Who can help us at Apple support?
