ICloud Drive is also susceptible to various glitches that are just temporary. Once the iCloud Drive status is back to normal, expect your files to start syncing regularly. If iCloud Drive is unavailable, wait for a few hours, and then look up the System Status page again. To do that, visit Apple’s System Status page, and then look up the status next to iCloud Drive - a green-colored dot indicated no issues, while a red-colored dot denotes the opposite. Make sure that iCloud Drive isn’t down at the moment due to an issue with the Apple servers. To access your files, click the iCloud icon on the system tray, and then click Open iCloud Drive. That should activate iCloud Drive on your PC. If it isn’t, check it and then click Apply. On the iCloud app that shows up, make sure that the box next to iCloud Drive is checked. Start by clicking the iCloud icon on the system tray, followed by clicking Open iCloud Settings. The first thing you must do is ensure that iCloud Drive is up and running on your computer - quite important if you just installed iCloud for Windows for the first time.
