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.
