In a fresh install of Mojave 10.14.2, the behavior of command up (⌘↑) in the Finder is odd... In a Finder window, (⌘↑) from /Documents takes me to /iCloud instead of to /Users as expected.

When I option-click on 'Documents' in the finder window title bar, the finder shows iCloud as the parent of Documents. But, if I drag the Documents folder to a terminal window, I see the path /Users/me/Documents as expected.

Is there a setting to make (⌘↑) navigate to the folder's true parent instead of to iCloud?

    Did you activate the option to store Documents and Desktop in your iCloud Drive?

    iCloud is the folder's "true parent", if you allowed it to relocate your Desktop and Documents.

@nohillside @Marc Wilson thanks for the tips. I wasn't aware of making the choice to store my docs & desktop, but clearly I had. My first clue was that in Terminal, the prompt wasn't /Users/~me it was something like 'ivm123xz..' a string I'd never seen before.

I did another fresh build and turned iCloud off. ⌘↑ Now works as expected.
