amplify-cli: Duplicated files generated from amplify env pull --restore

Issue/question I am setting up an amplify project. I cloned a existing git repo first. And I ran amplify configure within my project folder and created a new IAM user on aws. After that, I ran amplify init and select a existing environment that have been created by my colleagues to initialize my amplify project.

The problem is when I ran amplify env pull --restore, there will be duplicated files generated in several minutes. For a file named "file.json’, the file with duplicated content will be “files 2.json”. Always have a number like 2 or 3 appending at the end of the previous filename.

Additional information OS: macOS Mojave node version: 12.16.1 aws-amplify: ^1.1.36

I found a similar issues here but is not exactly same to my situation: https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli/issues/3153

The reason for this issue is not because of Amplify CLI I think. It is because I iCloud sync was enabled on my laptop. details see incloud sync creating duplicate files when saving. After I disabled it, this issue is gone @brandonking7 @jhockett
