It started when I upgraded my Mini 2014 to Big Sur. I could see the iCloud folder with content but desktop and document folder did not show any cloud data. I created empty folders on both macs in the desktop and documents folders and the visited iCloud in the browser. The new folders appeared, I clicked on them and the updating process started immediately.
