Why doesn't apple offer a viewer/file browser for iCloud Drive?

Why doesn't apple offer a viewer/file browser for iCloud Drive?
Dropbox, Microsoft’s OneDrive, and Google Drive all have viewer apps that let you see and manage what’s in the drive. The only way you can do that with iCloud Drive is through a web browser. Very frustrating and backward.

I found a possible band-aid for our problem:
1) On iOS 8 Device, go to Safari / iCloud.com
2) Once you get to iCloud.com, you'll notice it won't give you the option to log in.
3) Tap on the URL bar (this should bring up your bookmarks bar and Frequently Visited Sites)
4) Tap, Hold, and Slide your finger down on that section (this will reveal two options: (1) Add to Favorites, and (2) Request Desktop Site
5) Tap Request Desktop Site
Log in as usual, and you can now access iCloud Drive with your PDFs and other documents like any other computer.
I too am disappointed as I was looking forward to view PDF's shared between my Macbook and my iPad, but I think this should work until Apple comes out with a solution.

Cant open PDF files..It says the adobe acrobat reader that is running can not be used to view files in a browser..plz suggest the solution.thanks

Whenever i try to open a PDF file it says " The adobe/acrobar reader that is running can not be used to view files in a web browser. Plz exit adobe/acrobat readerand exit your web browser and try again." Wt do i need to do, plz suggest.

Hi adityabhargava01-
My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:

My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
[[Options window - Applications panel]]
I hope that helps!

Gif file won't animate in Muse's preview mode or in Muse's view in browser mode

Created a gif file with Photoshop that's 7.5MB in size. Placed the gif file on a Muse page. But, the gif won't animate in Muse's preview mode or when Muse sends the page to be viewed in browser mode. I'm using a Mac running OS X 10.9.2 and I'm a creative cloud member using Muse. Any solutions?

Step one to enable the community to help debug what you're encountering would be to provide the URL for the page where the GIF is being used. My first guess would be there are effects applied to the image (i.e. inner glow, bevel, etc.) that require Muse to re-encode the image and Muse does not support encoding animated .gif. It only supports passing animated .gif files through unchanged. (And to get an image to pass through unchanged it needs to have no effects that require rasterization applied in Muse.)
Given you've stated the GIF file is 7.5Mb I have to question your choice of .gif. At 7.5Mb this single file will take ~8 seconds to download on the average US broadband connection and will be much slower for many broadband users and most cellular users. GIF is a reasonable choice for very small short animations used sparingly, but is seldom (if ever) a good choice for larger or longer animations. Better choices for those are to use a video or a tool like Edge Animate to create a HTML5/CSS3 animation. The end result will be vastly more user friendly in terms of page load performance.
A huge percentage of first time visitors to a webpage will cancel the page load rather than waiting 8+ seconds for the page load to complete.

Why can't I see the list view in the file browser

In the file browser for FCP X, I can see the files in the thumbnail view but when I choose "list view", I see nothing.

Check three things: the filter popup in the upper left, the search box in the upper right, make sure there's nothing in it, and the action popup (the gear in the lower left) make sure there is no weird setting that's removing everything.
You can also trash your preferences to reset them.

File browser or folder view in gallery and music app?

Hello together,
is in Firefox OS no file browser and no way to show my pictures and my music in a folder view? I have sorted all my pictures and music in folders but in the gallery and the music app everything is totally unsorted or show under "unknown artist". :-/

Hi Alex008,
Thanks for using Firefox OS. There is a file browser in the marketplace called Explorer that let's you see your files in the folders. See https://marketplace.firefox.com/search?q=explorer
Let me know if this isn't what you were looking for.

Creating file browser GUI using java swing tree

Hi all,
I have some questions which i wish to clarify asap. I am working on a file browser project using java swing. I need to create 2 separate buttons. 1 of them will add a 'folder' while the other button will add a 'file' to the tree when the buttons are clicked once. The sample source code known as 'DynamicTreeDemo' which is found in the java website only has 1 add button which is not what i want. Please help if you know how the program should be written.

NMH405 - Unable to view any files using the FIle Browser

Hello,
I logged in to the FIle Browser, hoping to delete some photos from my media hub. However, I am unable to view any music, photo, or video files on this page, nothing listed. All blank when I clicked on these 3 folders.
No problems accessing the actual files in their respective pages. I could play the music and video files, and view the photos. But I can't carry out any maintenance on them via the File Browser.
Checked the User Guide, but couldn't find any clues to this problem. Could someone please help me?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Files that were imported and stored on the Import Folder won't be detected on the NMH File Browser. You may only see them if you manually classify the files to it's corresponding folder.
It means, you need to move the files based on their file type. AVIs, WMV, etc. should be placed on your Videos folder .. Mp3s, Wavs, etc. should be moved to the Music folder .. Jpgs, Gifs, etc. should be moved to Pictures folder ..
Hope this clarifies your concern.
Cheers!

How to view stills as individual rather than sequences in file browser

i have a lot of stills, which happen to be numbered, and i need to browse them
for use in motion 3. the file browser is showing them as numbered sequences.
how can i defeat that behavior so i can see each individual image for import?
thanks,
BabaG

Right down at the bottom right hand side of the File Browser, you will see two buttons. Click on the left hand one that looks like rectangles receding into the distance.
That should fix it!

JTree File Browser solutions and a problem

Hi everyone I have recently needed to create a file browser that allows addition, deletions and rename of files/directores using a JTree component.
I have searched the Sun web site and found a number of examples and from what I can see there are more or less two solutions. The first is to use the DefaultTreeModel and the DefaultMutableTreeNode classes and the other is to implement a new TreeModel taking advantage of a the File objects tree structure. This I found at;
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/jtree/
This to me seemed a very elegant solution. However it doesn't contain deletion, addition etc. So far I have tried to implement the addition of files but I have run into problems. The problem I have is that when I add a file a blank space ends up on the JTree view. If someone could take a look and suggest where I am going wrong I would be very greatful. The methods below I added to the FileSystemModel.java class from the url above.
     public File[] getPathToRoot(File file) {
     return getPathToRoot(file, 0);
    protected File[] getPathToRoot(File file, int i) {
     File[] files;
     if (file == null) {
         if (i == 0){
          return null;
         files = new File;
     } else {
     i++;
     if (file.equals( getRoot())){
               files = new File[i];
          }else{
          files = getPathToRoot(file.getParentFile(), i);
     files[files.length - i] = file;
     return files;
public void insertFileInto(String newFilePath, File parent) {
     File newFile = new File(parent, newFilePath);
     try{
          newFile.createNewFile();
          } catch ( IOException io){
                         System.out.println("io ex");
     filesWereInserted( parent,newFile);
public void filesWereInserted(File file, File newFile) {
     if (listenerList != null && file != null ) {
     Object[] objects = new Object[1];
          objects[0] = newFile;
          int [] is = new int[1];
          is[0] = 0;
     fireTreeNodesInserted(new TreeModelEvent(this, getPathToRoot(file), is, objects));
I basically looked at the DefaultTreeModel and tried to simluate the behaviour for files.
Since I have had this problem I remembered that out of the two solutions I have seen for a file browser the first is far more common. Perhaps I have chosse the wrong solution. Before I switch to the other soluion I thought I'ld put my problem to you guys and ask what you think the best solution is.
Thanks for any help :)

You are right this is a bad idea. You really want to implement delay loading. This means that your tree start out with only the top level folder expanded and dummy nodes in the folders that have children. Then using the expand events you can remove your dummy node and put in the real nodes before the tree displays the children. On the collapse event you can remove the real nodes and put back your dummy node (or you can leave the real nodes, that just means that eventually customers could have nodes for the entire system in memory, with a little work on their part:-). This way you only read the part of the file system that is visible and you only have the currently visible nodes in memory. I am sure you can find some examples of this technique.
While this could be done with the default models I feel that a custom model would be the way to go.

File browser bug?

Ok, so here i got a problem with photoshop elements organizer 10 on Win 7 x64 pro
I press Crtl-alt-3 to open the file browser but when i click on the small arrow to open a sub-folder it bring me back to top of the file browser... since i got a lot of files... it's quite annoying to scroll back down each times to get a picture
I also looked on many forum but i didnt find anything about that... so whats wrong, is it a config in the option or a corrupted file and need a re-install or it is really a bug in the code... I also have done every up-to-date about the software
Thank you for considering my post

Try Ctrl+Alt+2 and see if it’s any easier to work with import batches, otherwise you need to simplify your folder structure. Better still use Ctrl+Alt+1 and work with keywords and albums, then it’s possible to use the full power of the Organizer by searching the entire catalog in thumbnail view.
In PSE 11 it’s possible to switch between the full folder tree and just the folders managed by Elements.

Photoshop Elements 8 File Browser

Please help me. I really need the file browser as it was in earlier editions. I work all the time with this. Is there a way of finding it, without using Organiser?
I need the folder tree from my computer.
Thank you.

I am using PC and use Windows 7.
I hate the organiser folder view.
Thank you so much for answering. Can I use Elements 2 on Windows 7?

File browser crashes frequently during Open/Save

My late-2011 15" MBP running Mavericks recently started exhibiting a new bug.
In many applications (Postbox, IDLE, PhotoShop CS5, Lightroom, etc) the file browser crashes almost (but not quite) every time it's used.
If I choose > File > Open and start navigating the directory tree, it crashes the application (sometimes showing a generic error message, sometimes just quitting, depending on the application). If I open a Recent document the problem doesn't occur, but if I then try to > File > Save As and navigate the directory tree, it recurs.
This doesn't happen all the time, but once it's started to occur it continues until I reboot.
I've installed a 3rd-party SSD in the primary drive bay, and the standard Apple HDD in an Optibay. But I made this change a while ago and the problem is only new. I'm also running Windows 7 via a Parallels VB (and also Bootcamp) but the problem also occurs even if I don't boot up the VM.
I can attach a crash report if that's any use. I haven't seen any similar problems reported online.
Thanks for any advice,
Steve

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

Possible to set the Created_by column value for File Browse?

I'm using database account authentication and then a user gets to upload a file. Then my stored procedure reads the file. I was investigating a problem, happened to search the apex_workspace_files view and noticed the created_by column is always set to APEX_PUBLIC_USER for the files my users upload. Is there some way I can set that value when they log in, so I can track who actually did the upload?
Thanks,
Stew

Dimitri,
I was just using the standard File Browse item, so getting the blob from the workspace view. Though I've seen notes here about loading to your own table, what I had seemed to work (and was done) fairly well. There were just these little features I wanted to use...
Thanks for the suggestion.
Dave, I'm not sure which stored procedure you're suggesting I add the apex_custom_auth.get_username value to? I hoped that the internal File Browse routine would pick up the get_username value automatically instead of the application definition Public User value.
Thanks,
Stew

How to add a new right-click menu entry in Nautilus file browser?

I want to add a couple of new context menu entries to Nautilus File Browser.
So when I e.g. right-click in View Pane on a file "foobar.conf" an menu entry "edit with gedit" should appear (among the other default entries).
When clicked the file "foobar.conf" should be passed to gedit (and gedit editor opened).
How can I achieve this?
Under Ubuntu there are nautilus-actions but when I try to install them in Solaris with
pkg install nautilus-actions
then this package is not found.
How else can I create my own context menues?
I would appreciate to have one script with all my context menus, which when run add them all in one step.

To manage selected files or directories, you can use specific Nautilus variables like NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS.
For more details and which variables exist, please read the content of the following URL :
