Icloud 10.6.8 Version
I am hoping someone out there can help resolve a problem I have regarding the use of iCloud Drive on my elderly Imac running OSX 10.6.8. I have been accessing my iCloud Drive via Finder quite happily for almost a year, but a few days ago the hard drive went pop and I had to have a new drive and OSX installed. Since then I cannot find a way of getting iCould Drive inserted into the finder's Sidebar. I know that 10.6.8 is not supposed to be compatible, but as I was able to get it working last time (I can't remember but presumably after finding a solution on the web) I cannot understand why, after hours of searching this time, I can find no information at all on how to do it.
Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
