For the best iCloud experience, make sure your device meets the minimum system requirements.
Stop Icloud Downloading Files To Mac
Because iCloud syncs everything to your Mac, you may find a number of folders that don’t contain accessible files.) In the Mobile Documents folder, you'll see subfolders for all your apps that. Click on iCloud Drive. Right-click on the folder you want to remove its downloaded content, and then click on Remove Download. However, you wouldn't see the 'Remove Download' option for app folders.For instance, as in your image, you can't right-click on the Numbers folder and then click on Remove Download.

Problem: Files are not downloading from iCloud Drive to my computers.
Download Icloud Backup Files To Mac
Computers: Mac Pro (late 2013) and Macbook Pro (mid 2012) both running the latest version of macOS Sierra.
Context: So about 2 weeks ago I had a problem on my MacBook Pro (running El Capitan) that required me to sign out and back into iCloud. This caused me to archive my iCloud Drive content. I signed back into iCloud and everything that is in Apple Specific folders (Pages, Numbers, etc.) download fine but all of the folders that I added manually to iCloud Drive are not (they might be but I have no way to tell). Since this was just on my laptop, iCloud Drive was still working perfectly on my Mac Pro desktop, I didn't care and didn't do much to fix it. Skip ahead to yesterday, I decide to do a fresh install to update to MacOS Sierra on my Mac Pro desktop. I reset my computer, update all fine and then go to log into iCloud. And I notice, in iCloud Drive all of the App Specific folders are downloaded but no sign that any of my other data is downloading. In fear that I might have lost everything, I jump onto iCloud.com and check to see if my files are there. They are, I can download them from there, not all is lost. Unfortunately, I have hundreds of thousands of files in iCloud Drive so downloading them all manually would actually take a lifetime.
Copy Icloud Photos To Mac
What I have done to try and fix this: Restart my computer, log in/out of iCloud, reset my modem and Airports, relaunched Finder, killed and cloudd and bird processes (they currently are using a moderate amount of my CPU so things might be downloading), and I called Apple Support (they were no help, they told me you couldn't store files in iCloud Drive).
So, I'm running a fresh install of macOS Sierra on both of my computers and neither of them are automatically downloading my files from iCloud Drive. What could be causing this problem? My internet is quite fast so it probably would only take an hour or two to download the ~15GBs of stuff I have in iCloud Drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
