If you’re familiar with macOS (formerly OS X) and have iCloud Drive enabled, it’s essentially a Dropbox service built directly into the core of your Mac. But it’s a flawed product, as it can’t really sync all your files across all devices seamlessly. Apple is trying to slightly fix that problem with the new iCloud Drive features in macOS Sierra.

New to the OS is the ability to automatically sync your Mac’s Documents and Desktop folders through iCloud and with your other devices. That way, you don’t have to constantly drag and drop the files you’ve always wanted to access to iCloud Drive. Instead, the files can stay neatly where you want them to be.
However, this Sierra feature needs to be enabled separately from the rest of iCloud Drive. Here’s how to do it.
Enable additional iCloud Drive features
To have your Mac’s Desktop and Documents folders sync to iCloud Drive, go to the menu bar and click the button Apple Logos. Then tap About this Mac.
Click Warehouse at the top and then click Detail.
The System Information window will open with the default tab of Recommendations to see how you can improve the free space on your computer. One such way is the method we are after: syncing your Docs and Desktop files with iCloud Drive.
Tip: 
If that’s ok with you, keep clicking Store in iCloud… and click Store in iCloud again to verify.
If you go back to your Finder you will see that desktop And Documents outside of Your Favorites in the sidebar and in a new category called iCloud that also contains your iCloud Drive. They also appear as folders in the iCloud Drive app on iOS.
Note:
Are you ready. As a result, anything you add to your Documents or Desktop folders will be synced through iCloud. It looks like Apple is moving toward iCloud file syncing so that eventually every file on your Mac will live—or at least have a duplicate copy—in iCloud.
When this feature is on, iCloud files will only delete locally from your Mac if your storage gets too full, but they will remain if you have plenty of space left. You may also need to consider upgrading your iCloud storage plan if it’s full.
