Can i access preview on my iOS 8 device?

If I save a document to "preview" on my iCloud drive folder on my mac, how can i access that on my iPhone iOS 8?

Preview is an application for Mac OS, but I have not found it on iPhone/iOS.  If it exists, I'm not aware.  The thing that you're wanting to do however, if I'm correct in understanding, is to save the document (perhaps through the Preview app on Mac) and then open it on your iPhone easily within some app.
I am happy to say that I found a way to do this, and it helps me personally, so I thank you for asking about it so that I can benefit from the research I did to find the answer.
It seems that by default apps only have access to their portion of the iCloud - files for which they made or put there.  Within that app however, it is easily possible to open it in other apps.  This is not useful to the degree that we are after, so I searched around.  I found an app which somehow allows access to the entire iCloud drive, which is amazing.  I'm not really sure how it managed to do so, unless maybe it is logging into the iCloud drive web account in the background (yet, I'm not sure how, since I never gave it any login or permissions).  Either way, regardless of how - it just works, and it actually works great.  I would like it if somebody could dig into this and tell me whether there is a potential security concern or hole here by using this app.  I'm thinking Apple wouldn't have approved the app if it wasn't legit though.
The app is called Cloud Opener.  Let me give you a quick primer on using it though.  I read some reviews and found that people thought that it was making them wait a long time to start up the app, but it turns out that it comes up fast (shows the big cloud button/logo), and you're supposed to tap on that and it opens right up into your iCloud drive.  From there you have access to all of the features iOS offers for sharing or attaching or opening etc.  I was able to store txt files and PDF files in my Preview and TextEdit folders within iCloud, and they all worked flawlessly in iBooks and GoodReader, etc.
Enjoy

  • I can not access preview mode in safari

    Choosing file > Preview takes me somewhere else and I can not access preview mode at all. Every time I select preview it takes me to some strange site with att and my first name in it. Very Frustrating.
    I am using the latest upgrade for Muse 2014, so I don't think the version is to blame. Has anyone else had a similar problem, and what did you do to resolve it, and did it work?

    Hi
    When you click on preview, what is the url in the browser? Also, Muse uses the default browser of the OS, so is it possible to change the default browser and test it again to see if it works.

  • How can I view Preview documents on iOS 8 via iCloud Drive.

    I have a number of PDF documents in iCloud drive in the Preview folder. How to I view these documents on my iPhone 5s? I have the latest software and iCloud Drive is enabled. Pages only looks under the Pages folder apparently. Is there some hidden way to view my Preview PDFs in iOS 8?
    *edit* For some reason the Apple Support site thinks my iPhone is running 7.0.3, but it is in fact using 8.0.2.
    Thank you.

    Would be a good idea to have an iCloud Drive app, JUST LIKE DROPBOX for fxsake. I want to organize things my way -- not be forced to use app-specific folders and a single layer of nesting. And if you're going to force that on me, then give me a Preview folder and TextEdit folder on iOS.

  • My iPad mini, can only access camera roll photos. When posting on facebook. I can not access shared photos from my apple devices.

    problem with iPad mini and iPhone 5c and Facebook app. I can only access camera roll, when posting photos, I can not see shared photos. Which I could before the previous 3 updates. I did speak to Apple support but they said Facebook was behind. i think over 6 months later I still have the same problem!

    Thank you. Do you have any idea about the 5c, which is only 2 weeks old. Before this I had an iPhone 4, and you could choose which collection you wanted to post from,
    but my 5c is also only showing camera roll, pehich is rather annoying to say the least!

  • Can't access iTunes store after iOS upgrade

    I have an iPhone 4.  Just upgraged the iOS to 6.0.1.  I can no longer connect to the iTunes Store on the phone.  I receive a message that I need an internet connection to get to the iTunes store.  I never had this problem before the upgrade.  Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know how to address it?  Thanks.

    Well, first I'd ask if you have confirmed that Internet is in fact working on the phone? Do you have WiFi enabled and can you connect to the Internet with other apps on the phone?

    I got a message that my icloud is almost full.  I went to my Settings > icloud to manage my account, but I can't select this option.  The icloud support website didn't offer any help with this problem.

    If iCloud is grayed out in your Settings and won't open, go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Accounts (near the bottom) and set this to Allow Changes.

  • HT201104 Can you sync contacts/calendar on ios 7 device after upgrading to iCloud drive?

    I have an iphone 4 (ios 7, can't get 8).  I don't care about accessing documents on iCloud drive with my phone.
    I might want to do it with my ipad mini (ios8.1) though.
    If I upgrade to iCloud drive will I still be able to sync contacts/calendar on my iphone?

    I cloud drive IS not the SAME as I cloud you use for backups.  I cloud drive is for moving docs, pics, etc.  So if you upgrade to iCloud drive, yes you can still sync contacts, calendars, etc

  • Can iChat on Mac talk to iOS  FaceTime devices

    I have Facetime on my iOS devices, as indeed many of my family and friends.
    I also have installed FaceTime app on the iMac and I dont really like it.  It does seem to fit in well with the Aspect ratio of the Mac Display.  The contacts are in a black border etc. So I tend to use my iOS devices in FaceTime but feel that the mobile lack the control of the video.  I have not 'upgraded' my sofwate to Mountain Lion which seems very based on mobile devices and  iOS 6
    As an old user of iChat in many versions I have client Buddy Lists which offered availability markers etc, even which in other Mac software applications for example Address Book.
    Is it possible for a Mac based iChat to talk to iOS devices ?
    Are there any advantages/disadvantages to me the user and/or my recipients.
    Would upgrading to Mountain Lion provide a better FaceTime vs iChat experience.
    I realise this is a highly subjective question but would welcome any views

    Hi,
    Is it possible for a Mac based iChat to talk to iOS devices ?
    No.
    Well,...  not iChat to FaceTime or Messages on the iOS device.
    You could use AIM Express or a Jabber client app and at least Text chat.
    FaceTime.
    The Lion version has the same Video controls to set the pic Landscape or Portrait as the Mountain LIon version does.  See Video Menu - you tend to have to be connected in a chat for it to go Dark)
    FaceTime can chat (in Video only) to other Mac users using FaceTime or to iOS devices.
    It cannot Video to Messages app (In iOS or the Mac Version)
    Messages on the Mac in Mountain Lion
    This adds the iMessaging ability to what is essentially the iChat app.
    It uses the same iChat "Engine" if you like  and adds in the iOS iMessages account to the other AIM and Jabber or Yahoo IDs and Names you may be using already.
    If using the iMessages Account to connect to Contacts then Messages will Invoke (Start up) FaceTime for you if you want to Video chat.
    The former "iChat Names" still use Buddy Lists and can Video within Messages like iChat can.
    So...
    Like iChat you cannot Video or Text chat from AIM to Jabber  (Cross Service) you cannot chat from your iMessage account to AIM or Jabber (or Yahoo)
    The iMessage account allows you to text chat to those people you might be FaceTiming to at the moment.

    Go to iCloud.com and change your password.
    The only way someone can access your iMessages is either by having physical access to the account or by setting up the same Apple ID on another device.
    Change your password.

  • I can't access my 1st generation airport express devices using airport utility

    I have a new Motorola Surfboard Extreme wireless cable modem & router set-up on my main internet cable line. To it i've connected 1st generation airport express using an ethernet and extended it with another 1st generation airport express so i can connect to itunes and a remote printer.  When I go to Aiport Utility to perform the set-up, i'm told i need to update to version 5.6.  When installing Aiport Utility 5.6 I receive an error prior to completion which prevents me from performing the set-up or even seeing the two airport express devices in the program.  Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    By "1st generation" AirPort Express are you referring to the 802.11g or 802.11n model? Version 5.6 of the AirPort Utility would be required to administer the older 802.11g Express.
    If you do have an 802.11g model, are you actually running OS X 10.7.5 on your Mac?
