How to add iCloud Drive to dock on Mac

How to add iCloud Drive to dock Mac OS

You will need to access the system folder and use it to add icons to the dock. This sounds more complicated than it really is. Just follow the steps below.
  1. Open the Finder, select the "Go to" menu, and then "Go to the folder".
  2. Enter the following location and press Return (Enter):
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Applications/
3. Find the program "iCloud Drive.app" and simply drag its icon to any place on the dock.
Now, to open iCloud Drive, just click on the icon in the dock.
With the icon in the dock, you can quickly access files in iCloud Drive, as well as copy or move them from the Mac memory.
The iCloud Drive icon can also be added to the Finder sidebar, but it will not be as fast or convenient.
On the Mac, iCloud Drive retained its name, but on iOS it is part of the Files application. Now files in iOS are visible by default, and before iCloud Drive, it was necessary to add independently on the home screen. The same thing had to be done on the Mac. However, the contents of iCloud Drive on Mac and Files on iPhone or iPad are the same.
