Hi,
Firstly welcome @HaloLight new to the forum and sorry for the bad experience.
We have received many reports about sync issues. Mostly the truth is what @Jun said, syncing is extremely slow which leads to as if it isn’t working.
As a technique support staff, I’m also very anxious to find a reliable way to make sync works properly. You have to check the cloud sync state to see if it is in ‘fetching’ in the ‘Notebook’ page. If so, the notebook is still downloading which is separated from Document sync. Maybe change the DNS which is faster to connect the Apple server will help.
Also in this thread,
Last few days ago, @DrJJWMac helped me find a reason leads to a sync error. 【FAQ】Collecting Problems with Sync + Troubleshooting - #7 by Lanco_Support-Team
What JJW talks about is coding history causes, sub-folder support is very later released than we build sync framework. So some conditions are not fully considered.
I’ve submitted an ultimate solution to the Development schedule. Try to make a Wlan transfer boost when handoff is in use. This way cloud bypasses the Apple Server issues. (MN’s notebook database is an entirety that is much slower than small files transferring in Icloud. That’s why the scattered Documents in MN is always syncing ahead of Notebook.) This improvement needs some time to realize. Once I got good news will notify this thread.

Lanco
