Access files on icloud on pc

I opened an icloud account on my iphone and backed up some files. I'm trying to access those files on my pc. I downloaded icloud on my pc, but can't see how I can access and copy those files onto my pc. Any help is appreciated

You can't access files in the iCloud backup if that's what you're trying to do.  You can only restore the backup to your device.  You can access your iCloud calendars, contacts, reminders (tasks) and mail if you have Outlook 2007 or 2010.  You can also access your photo stream photos as well as your bookmarks (with Safari or Internet Explorer).

  • Accessing files from iCloud on PC

    Still learning about iCloud. At home I work on a Mac. I dropped(uploaded) a .zip file in the cloud app(at home). I can see it, access it, etc.- from home. At work I work on a PC. Can I access that .zip file from work? If yes, how?
    Thanks,

  • How can I see my files from iCloud on my ipad??

    I have some files different kind of files in my iCloud storage... I would like to view and access them from my ipad. How can I view them??

    Hi mtsada,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are talking about accessing files on iCloud Drive, you may find the information outlined in the following article helpful:
    How do I access all my files in iCloud Drive?
    You can access your files in iCloud Drive any of these ways:
     Using any supported web browser, you can go to iCloud Drive or iWork for iCloud beta at iCloud.com. In iWork for iCloud beta, you can find your Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files.
    On your Mac with OS X Yosemite, you can go to iCloud Drive in Finder.
    On your PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud for Windows, you can go to iCloud Drive in File Explorer.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8, you can access your files from Apple apps like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, or any apps that support iCloud Drive.

  • How can I access files that are saved in the iCloud?

    Hello fellow apple fans,
    I downloaded Mountain Lion yesterday and was very pleased to find out that it is possible to upload several file types from several programms into the iCloud. But now I am concerned that this feature could turn out to be useless for me: e.g. the PDF-upload from Preview" - once I uploaded it I can't find it annywhere, neither on my iPhone nor on icloud.com. I can only access it when I open Preview and look for "documents saved in the cloud". Same problem with several types of files - I can't find anything that can't be opend by the iWork-suit if I don't use the same programm that I used to save it in the cloud.
    Is this feature only meant to help people that own more than one Mac?
    Thanks for your help

    Unfortunately, you're right. You can open iCloud documents on multiple devices, but only if they have the exact same software. If you save documents on Preview or TextEdit on your Mac, you can't open them on your iPad or iPhone because there is no equivalent software.
    I use Goodreader to read documents on my iPad and iPhone, and there is a workaround that I learned about on a popular Apple fan site that allows me to access my Goodreader iCloud files on my Mac (they are stored there even though there's no direct way to access them).  Hopefully, Apple will address this issue and make such workarounds unnecessary.

  • HT204053 I already set up an iPad with my school Apple ID but want to access my home Apple ID files in iCloud.  If I delete the school ID in iCloud is my school ID still available?  In other words, can I delete an iCloud account and get it back later as i

    Since I already set up an iCloud account using my school ID but need to access my home iCloud files, do I need to delete the iCloud school ID to get those home files?  I believe so.  If so, then can I use the same school ID and password later for iCloud or will it require that I change the password, etc.? Is there another way to get those home files without deleting the school ID?
    OR, just help me figure out how to get my school PC to read Pages files.  That would answer all the questions.  No, I don't have technical permission or power to add programs to my PC. 
    Thanks for any help you can give me in this matter.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    When you do this, you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Access files stored in Time Capsule via iCloud

    how to access files stored in Time Capsule via iCloud

    Yes, you can remotely access files in the TC..
    Did you read the apple instructions and do them??
    http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
    It does depend on the main router being upnp or NAT-PMP capable.. so the best is if the TC is the main router.. otherwise you may have to manually forward the ports.

    How do I get access again to my whatsapp conversations backed up on icloud?

    That can be done with Elcomsoft Phone Breaker -- it allows to download all files from iCloud, not only backups. And WhatsApp data is also there (if appropriate setting is enabled in the program, of course).

  • How To Copy/Access Files From Finder To iCloud?

    Is there a way I can quickly copy files from my Finder window directly into iCloud without having to drag and drop into the web browser window? I like to use my apps in full screen as much as possible and unless I've missed a shortcut of sorts, I have to go through the process of exiting full screen for the purpose of having to drag and drop the files?
    I tried Command-C to copy and then paste but that didn't work.  My preference would be to have full access to my iCloud files through the finder window.  Did I miss a setting in Finder Preferences?
    Thanks

    This is the closest I've come but it doesn't allow you to copy files to the folder in the sidebar:

    Lion will only let you add documents to iCloud through iCloud.com, iCloud.com requires the iOS apps before you can use it.
    Mountain Lion will let you add documents to iCloud from the iWork apps themselves, you don't then need the iOS apps before they can be opened on another Mac.
