iCloud - Seeing files on Mac OS

Phuket2

Sorry guys for this super dumb question. But always assumed that iCloud basically operated in much the same way Dropbox does. Well as far as I can see it does not unless I am missing some settings.
Sorry, this is an os issue/question, not specific to Pythonista.
But when I look on my Mac I cant see any of my iOS folders except the standard ones from apple apps like numbers etc. But I cant see the Pythonista 3 folder, Working Copy , etc Folders.

Is this some division Apple has built in? I can see the folders correctly from other iOS devices. I really haven't been using iCloud interactively , as I normally use Dropbox.

I did some searches on the web, could still not see why I can not see the iOS folders on my Mac iCloud folder. I have just stupidly expected it would work across all devices with iCloud accounts.

I hope I am just missing some very simple setting here. Again, sorry to ask here as its not specific to Pythonista, but I think most will want to I be able to access their Pythonista files from there mac via iCloud.

Fingers crossed :)
BTW: on the latest os versions on the mac and the iPad

I do see the "Pythonista 3" folder on the Mac, and also the folders of a bunch of other iOS-only apps, though I'm not aware of any setting that would control this. In the iCloud system preferences, only Mac apps are listed (and can be deactivated under "iCloud Drive > Options").

Maybe try logging out of iCloud on the Mac and logging back in again? Just a shot in the dark, sorry.
