Have you tried the "locate" command in command line. such as sudo locate myvideo.mov Would eliminate the case where the videos were misplaced into some other directory. What happens when you try to move 44GB of files into a folder that is "iCloudable" when your Apple account only allows 5GB ? Does it say "Sorry Allan, I'm affraid I can't do that". In other words, does iCloud act as a disk with 5GB capacity and when you reach it, you get "disk full" errors ? Or does it prompt you to buy more storage etc ? Also, and more to the core, what is an iCloudable folder? Is it a glorified mount point to a remote disk ? Or is it a regular dorectory/folder in the local file system, and files are initially deposited there, but once the copy to iCloud has been made, the physical file is removed and replaced by a soft link to the remote file ? (aka: on a file by file basis). Or put it differently, does ls -l of a newly created file change after it has had time to be copied to iCloud ? Is there line command to show whether a directory is "iCloudable" ? > iCloud was on at the time but "Desktop & Documents" in the iCloud > settings was unchecked (as it has been since I started using iCloud to > sync other stuff). I take it "Documents" above referes to the default folder created with accounts as opposed to "any and all files that OS_X considers to be a document ?

Bad advice. The antiquated locate sucks ass and is not enabled in default macOS installations; use mdfind instead. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

One of the things I despise these days is the deluge of "how to" on
YouTube where 90% of such videos are poorly made by bloviators. Can

Some things are certainly done better with video... but far from all.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.
They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Agreed. And add those idiotic videos where people sit in front of a
camera and narrate or comment about some other video on Youtube, as if
anyone fucking cares what they have to say.

Curious thing - the files that went missing - fragments of them show on the iCloud drive if I log in via the web! (Deleted now) But again, iCloud drive did not include anything on the desktop (or docs) so this quite curious indeed. -- "If war is God's way of teaching Americans geography, then recession is His way of teaching everyone a little economics." ..Raj Patel, The Value of Nothing.

Have you *ever* enabled it on > this computer in the past? Nope[1]. As I've said earlier I have 250 GB in the docs folder alone (actually closer to 230) which would require me to pay Apple for more space and I don't want to do that (wouldn't want to even if it was free)). $3.99/month for 200 GB - so would have to be on the 1 TB plan at $12.99 / month. Indeed up to about a year or so ago, my photography work file was also in the docs folder and that's another 284 GB that would have needed to be sync'd. Plus there's my ISP bandwidth cap of 150 GB/month which is better used for other things. So I'm quite sure it's never been enabled in the past What is sync'd for iCloud Drive: TextEdit, Mail, Reminders, System prefs) [1] or if you prefer it was one of the defaults I disabled on the first go. -- "If war is God's way of teaching Americans geography, then recession is His way of teaching everyone a little economics." ..Raj Patel, The Value of Nothing.

I don't think it's enabled by default, is it? I certainly would not be pleased if, after upgrading to Sierra, I found all of my documents being uploaded to the cloud without even asking. I doubt Apple would do that; but if so, I'm disappointed in them. At any rate, if you had it enabled briefly - no matter how brief - I have to wonder if disabling it before it was able to finish the initial sync somehow triggered the behavior you are experiencing. It's definitely a bug - no doubt about it. But since it's apparently not a wide-spread problem, I'm just wondering what caused it. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google.
