Alias in bash to Change Directory When I am typing in a typical alias with my .bash_profile, my change directory is not working.

I currently have the following:

alias cdicloud="/Users/&lt;username&gt;/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Folder1/subFolder


Does anyone know how to properly change directories via an alias. All my other aliases work, but this one doesn't want to work.
You need to escape/protect any spaces etc in the path:

alias cdicloud="cd ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs"


Executing this in Terminal looks like the following:

pse@Mithos:~$ alias cdicloud="cd ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs"
pse@Mithos:~$ cdicloud 
pse@Mithos:~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs$ cd -
/Users/pse
pse@Mithos:~$
