Whenever I add the documents or desktop folder to favorites on macOS Sierra, it stays there for some time but then disappears. Is it a problem with iCloud Drive?

Update: It still occurs in macOS High Sierra. I tried booting into safe mode, resetting PRAM and SMC, resetting finder preferences, but it still doesn't fix the problem.

  • Same for me. My Desktop sticks ok but not Documents. New MBP, my old one was fine.

Im not sure what is causing this, but you could try force quitting Finder. Go to the Apple icon in the top left corner and select the Force Quit option. A menu will pop up and you can click on Finder to restart it. Also, if you open the Finder preferences you should be able to select which folders appear in the side bar.

  • I tried force quitting Finder but the same problem occurred. I also tried the preferences and I was able to see which folder were added to the sidebar. However, when I checked Documents and Desktop, it would glitch and remain unchecked.

  • @AmitKulkarni Have you tried restarting the computer and also shutting down manually?

  • I have done it before, but the problem still persisted, I will try it again and let you know when my computer turns back on and if it fixed the problem.
