not seeing my documents when I sign in to iCloud on my mac

I just had to rest my MacBook Pro to factory default.

After the rest and the Mac was rebooted.. I setup iCloud successfully.

I also checked "Desktop and Document Folder" in iCloud Drive.

But cannot see any files from iCloud in the Folder app...


however I can see files in iCloud drive from iPad..


I am using the same iCloud account on both iPad and MacBook Pro


I am running macOS Monterey ...with all updates installed..

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
