Hi Dave, On your mac you have iCloud drive, What about on your iPhone Do you have iCloud drive synched or are you some how copying your folders from your mac to your files application?
To me if you update the files in the shared iCloud drive folders (Mac ) then the files should have updated time / date stamps to say you've updated them. If the files / folders viewed through your phone are not showing the same time / date stamps then they are not updated on your phones files app. Try using the iCloud Drive option under settings / iCloud so that you get the iClud drive share setup on the phone as a live connection. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Friday, 16 August 2019 1:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Synchronizing Files in iCloud Drive Between Mac and iPhone I may have mis-stated what is happening. I have several folders from my Mac hard drive copied to iCloud Drive. I can access those file from my iPhone using the files app. But what I was expecting is that when I change the file either on my iPhone or on my Mac, that the file would be changed across both platforms. I’m thinking that simply copying the files and folders from the Mac is not the correct approach for using the iCloud drive, since there appears to be no linked connection between the Mac hard drive and iCloud drive. Is that why I’m not getting what I expected? If so, how would I be able to have files that reside on my Mac hard drive be available to view and edit on my iPhone, that would allow them to always be synchronized?
