Cocoa error 262, Can't upload file to iCloud

Question

I am trying to use following lines of code to upload a large file to iCloud:

-(void)uploadFileWithFilePath:(NSString *)Path toFileURLInCloud:(NSURL *)destURL{
    NSURL * filePath = [NSURL URLWithString:Path];
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^(void)
    {
        NSFileCoordinator* fileCoordinator = [[NSFileCoordinator alloc] initWithFilePresenter:nil];
        [fileCoordinator coordinateReadingItemAtURL:filePath
                            options:NSFileCoordinatorReadingWithoutChanges
                              error:nil
                         byAccessor:^(NSURL *newURL)
        {
            NSFileManager * fileManager = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];
            NSError * error;
            BOOL success = [fileManager copyItemAtURL:filePath toURL:destURL error:&error];
            if (success) {
                NSLog(@"Copied %@ to %@", filePath, destURL);
            }
            else {
                NSLog(@"Failed to copy %@ to %@: %@", filePath, destURL, error.localizedDescription);
            }
        }];
    });
}

I get this error

The operation couldn’t be completed. (Cocoa error 262.)

What could be the problem here?

Well, the web seems to think that this is commonly caused by initializing the url with a string path as you are. I advise changing this:

NSURL * filePath = [NSURL URLWithString:Path];

To this:

NSURL * filePath = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:Path];
