Almost all my files have the small cloud and arrow beside them and I can't open any of them. I get a preview but no download. I know it is affiliated with the CLOUD but I have an urgent need to download and can't. Several Google responses simply say to double click because the file is in the cloud and the double click will open it-it doesn't!
Anothe directs me to System Preferences but that refers to APPS. I'm talking FILES!

I don't like to sync all of my documents files to iCloud so I've been using it to sync contacts, calendar etc. but manually loading files I want access to with my phone (user manuals for example). Lately, now running Ventura 13.2.1, I tried to update some of those files by deleting and reloading a directory on icloud and ran into the endless waiting to update arrow cloud. In the process of trying to resolve it I tried to sync the documents and desktop (through settings) and then unsynced the same. Now even with this option unchecked in settings the documents folder is removed but I can't get rid of the desktop in icloud. Ventura 13.2.1 isn't behaving well with iCloud; what is going on here?
Thank you so much.You've made my day!!!!!
Hi roroco1,

Cheers!
