Ask HN: Did macOS Sonoma break your iCloud setup?

2 points

2 years ago

I have a pretty delicate setup where I symlink into my iCloud Drive folder to keep documents, .dot-files etc. synced between my devices, using .nosync folder extension to ignore folders such at git projects etc.

I stupidly updated to Sonoma without doing a backup and now, nothing works. I cannot even copy files between folders.

All I get is

  The operation can’t be completed because one or more required items can’t be found. (Error code -43)

And the more I've read about this, it seems Sonoma is a nightmare for a lot of people. People loosing years of work just by updating.

Anyone else having these issues?
