[Solved] Trying to browse folders located in iCloud

Post by edfoskey »

I am trying to browse folders that I have stored on my iCloud Drive.

When I choose browse in the start up dialogue, I go to the folder I wish to browse.

In the attached clips, GC1 is where I start. GC2 is where I go when I choose the location in the GC1 clip.

Thanks, in advance, for any help you can offer.

Apple did not design the iCloud for browsing.

That works perfectly with other cloud drives like DropBox, OnDrive, Google etc.

But GraphicConverter can browse the iCloud content which is stored locally.
1. Go to the prefs and check:

and
show_icloud.jpg

2. Relaunch GraphicConverter

3. Select

Thanks for the input. However, my preferences has a different window.

Please see the attached image.

Thorsten,

This was NOT solved. See my last post showed that my preferences show different Browser/Cloud Drive settings.

Still NOT working.

Did you grant Full Disk Access to GraphicConverter in the Apple system settings under Privacy?

The screenshot indicates missing access permissioons.

Did you click on - Authenticate iCloud Access... -?

I have the same problem: I clicked "Authenticate iCloud Access...". A window opens to select a directory. I press the button "authenticate", the window closes ... the problem still exists. (GC v12.4.1)
