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.
