For whatever reason, Apple has decided to make "iCloud Drive" actually available at an impossible-to-remember and painful-to-type location.
Is there any better method than a symlink to make it available at (for example) /Volumes/iCloud
?
Is there any particular problem putting a symlink in /Volumes
? Is it even possible? Will I somehow bork my system if I try it with sudo
?
Update
I'm not asking how to create a symlink. That can be boiled down to
sudo ln -s "$HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs" /Volumes/iCloud
but it leaves all of the app-specific folders out, because $HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs
only includes folders and files that you created in the root of the iCloud Drive. All the nifty folders with app icons on them are not there, but instead have equally obscure names up a level in $HOME/Library/Mobile Documents
.
/Volumes
but I don't believe it's possible. I would just symlink~/iCloud
. This seems to be exactly what symlinks are for, is there anything you have against them?/Volumes
. I clearly wouldn't copy any real files there. Also~/iCloud
is not a standard location. remote and local volumes normally go in/Volumes
, so there's nothing special to remember.
