iCloud Drive
About iCloud Drive
iCloud Drive stores your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and other kinds of
documents in iCloud so you can access these documents from any of your devices set up
with iCloud. It allows your apps to share documents so you can work on the same le across
multiple apps.
iCloud Drive works with devices using iOS 8, Mac computers using OS X Yosemite, PCs with
iCloud for Windows 4.0, or through iCloud.com. To access iCloud Drive, you must be signed into
iCloud with your Apple ID. iCloud Drive works with supported apps including Pages, Numbers,
Keynote, GarageBand, and some third-party apps.
Set up iCloud Drive
You can set up iCloud Drive using Setup Assistant when you install iOS 8, or you can set it up
later in Settings. iCloud Drive is an upgrade to Documents and Data. When you upgrade to
iCloud Drive, your documents are copied to iCloud Drive and become available on your devices
using iCloud Drive. You won’t be able to access the documents stored in iCloud Drive on your
other devices until they are also upgraded to iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite. For more information about
upgrading to iCloud Drive, see support.apple.com/kb/HT6345.
Set up iCloud Drive. Go to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive, then turn on iCloud Drive and follow
the onscreen instructions.
Transfer les
There are several ways to transfer les between iPhone and your computer or other iOS device.
Transfer les using iTunes. Connect iPhone to your computer using the included cable. In
iTunes on your computer, select iPhone, then click Apps. Use the File Sharing section to transfer
documents between iPhone and your computer. Apps that support le sharing appear in the
File Sharing Apps list in iTunes. To delete a le, select it in the Documents list, then press the
Delete key.
You can also view les received as email attachments on iPhone.
With some apps, you can transfer les using AirDrop. See AirDrop on page 36.
