Three small QoL tips for people who have issues with their iCloud sync
1. In Finder, enable the Status bar. This shows the current iCloud progress.
2. If iCloud sync is stuck, run `killall bird` to restart the iCloud drive sync process.
3. Disable `Optimized Mac Storage` in the iCloud system preferences. This forces your mac to always upload and download files.
One thing I haven't figured out is how to see iCloud sync status without having to open Finder, e.g. for a custom menu bar item.
