[GNC] Migrating from PC to Mac

[William Prescott]

To see iCloud files on a Mac:
Click on the iCloud drive in the Sidebar of a Finder window.

If it is not there, do the following:
Go to the Finder
Open Finder settings
Click on the Sidebar tab
Check the box for iCloud Drive
Close the settings window
Click on the iCloud Drive that now appears in the Sidebar
You should see it there
