Troubleshooting iCloud Upload:


A. Troubleshooting Full iCloud:

Is iCloud Drive Full? Go here to find out: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive. If so, back up iCloud, confirm the backup, then clear out the iCloud Drive.

One unique method...

Download All of iCloud:

One thought would be to download all of iCloud to an external drive. Once downloaded, verify your can access the data. Once verified, trash what is in iCloud. As for seeing through the download, do so in Finder on a Mac. You would download it to an external drive, and then open the drive in Finder. Search through it using the search bar on the top-right corner of the Finder window. Once downloaded, trash what is in there. Use my user tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip


B. Resync All Items:

  1. Go to: System Preferences/Settings
  2. Click: [your name] (top item)
  3. Click: iCloud
  4. Click: Show All
  5. Click: [an item]
  6. Click: Off each item
  7. Wait: a couple of minutes
  8. Click: On all items, one at a time.
