ICloud Desktop and Document upload all files that are saved to those directories, not just those that can be used on iOS. MORE: Windows 10 Review: Best PC OS Yet, But Beware of Bugs In exchange for this slightly confusing change, all files stored in both directories can be accessed from those same directories on all macOS Sierra Macs and the iCloud Drive app on all iPhones and iPads.
