[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1687642"] You may be less "special" than Apple believes. :) Your post prompted me to check my own user folder, where I discovered the Mobile Documents folder was unopenable ... through the Finder. If I accessed it through the Go menu, it would "open" but only to an iCloud connection ... not local files. Interestingly, I can put files INTO the Mobile document folder by dragging them onto it, and the show as being there in an EasyFind search, but they are not accessible (and don't -- at least not immediately -- appear on the iCloud Drive). Using EasyFind, I can double-click on them and they open, and I can remove them from the folder (which cautions me that they will be removed from iCloud Drive, even though they are not seen as being there when I check that). "Get Info" on it reveals that one cannot alter the permissions on it (not that I'd want to). The whole screenshot of the "get info" panel for this folder is included below. I'm running the latest (non-beta) version of El Capitan, and iCloud Drive works perfectly normally as far as I can tell apart from not showing things added into Mobile Documents. I have no idea if my (and your) situation is typical or not. [ATTACH=FULL]23288[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
