CDO Open failed on *.nc no such file or directory

Question

I am new with CDO, and wanted to use it to merge several netcdf files on the time variable with

cdo mergetime pr_Amon_IITM-ESM_historical_r1i1p1f1_gn_199001-199912.nc pr_Amon_IITM-ESM_historical_r1i1p1f1_gn_201001-201412.nc output.nc

I just installed CDO on Mac following the instructions given here: https://thiagodossantos.com/post/1-mac-science-software/. I have Version 1.9.9 and it seems to work fine, however it can't open any .nc file I have tried so far.

This is the error message I got:

cdo    mergetime: Open failed on >pr_Amon_IITM-ESM_historical_r1i1p1f1_gn_199001-199912.nc<
              No such file or directory

This is the Version I am using:

I've also tried to reinstall it, but it didn't help. Any help is much appreciated!

P.S: I am also new with stack overflow, so please excuse me if I didn't ask the question correctly.

Can you please add the CDO call you have used and what error was produced? — Robert Wilson, Jan 28 '21 at 11:14
Yes I am, I tried it with several files and it was always the same error message. — Sophie Rubin, Jan 28 '21 at 11:43
It worked when I moved it out of the iCloud Drive and into my users folder. — Sophie Rubin, Jan 28 '21 at 12:15
Does that not mean the file is not actually in the folder, so there is no way for CDO to find it? — Robert Wilson, Jan 28 '21 at 15:48
I am not sure, because I could access it with other programs. But maybe you are right. Anyways, the problem is solved :) Thanks for your help! — Sophie Rubin, Jan 29 '21 at 11:25

I was experiencing a similar problem, and I fixed it by closing that .nc by calling nc_close("file")-file after performing my calculations.
