Unchecking the desktop and documents in icloud is a valid solution, but I would like to keep these synchronized in the icloud and have finder work. How is that still not possible? Anybody found a solution?

Same here. I know it’s useless to post this without any solution, but it’s sooooo frustrating. I feel like I am back in the 90s, waiting 1 min for each operation. Does anybody know if there is a way to contact Apple directly and spam them about this?
