Can I use my iCloud 5GB to store Word, Excel and PDF files?

I have an iCloud account that shows 5GB of space available and I'd like to be able to upload a bunch of documents for storage and be able to access them from any of several PCs, Macs and iOS devices. I do this now with Dropbox, readdledocs and google docs, but I can't figure out how to do it with iCloud.  I don't want to buy the iWork apps--just want to store files and be able to access them from other systems.  Is this possible?

Only If you own iOS5 and also keynote,pages and numbers for iOS you can opt in to use iCloud for document storage.
That's in iOS5 "Settings" -> "pages" ( numbers,keynote ) -> "Use icloud" , set the slider to yes ( blue ).
Then all files created on your mobile iwork apps is going into the cloud, occupying space of the 5GB.
You can then ( without purchasing the apps you can't use office document storage/ up- and download per Browser in iCloud at all ) also manually upload files from PC/Mac to the icloud space, thus also have these uploaded documents inside your iOS apps.
It accepts all Microsoft Office 97 - 2011 formats as well as iWork09 for OSX file formats.
PDFs can't be up-, but down-loaded as copies of your documents up there in the icloud.
The URL to up and download is www.icloud.com/iwork  and the process of uploading is done like this :

  • Using Oracle Text to search through WORD, EXCEL and PDF documents

    Hello again,
    What I would like to know is if I have a WORD or PDF document stored in a table. Is it possible to use Oracle Text to search through the actual WORD or PDF document?
    Thanks
    Doug

    Yes you can do context sensitive searches on both PDF and Word docs. With the PDF you need to make sure they are text and not images. Some scanners will create PDFs that are nothing more than images of document.
    Below is code sample that I made some time back to demonstrate the searching capabilities of Oracle Text. Note that the example makes use of the inso_filter that is no longer shipped with Oracle begging with Patch set 10.1.0.4. See metalink note 298017.1 for the changes. See the following link for more information on developing with Oracle Text.
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/text.101/b10729/toc.htm

    -- The following needs to be executed
    -- as sys.
    DROP DIRECTORY docs_dir;
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY docs_dir
    AS 'C:\sql\oracle_text\documents';
    GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY docs_dir TO text;
    -- End sys ran SQL

  • How do I port my Windows Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files to the MAC?  What software is needed on the MAC to use them?  Thanks.

    How do I port my Windows Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files to the MAC?  What software is needed on the MAC to use them?  Thanks.

    You can certainly use iWork, though I hesitate to recommend it to a seasoned Windows user simply because it would add another level of the unfamiliar with which you would have to gain familiarity. The iWork applications are certainly very competent and in most respects both easy to use and surprisingly powerful. They are not 100% compatible however, though that typically manifests itself in document formatting issues rather than anything more significant.
    I have never attempted to import emails from a Windows system into MacOS - other than in Outlook connected to an Exchange server, thus not really an issue at all. I doubt that the Mail app in MacOS can import directly, but of course you could always set the account(s) up on the Mac and then forward emails you want to keep from the PC. Not elegant, but it works. Virtually any Windows document or file, whichever application created it, can be opened or converted for use on a Mac, and using both systems on my desk each day I rarely see any issues switching stuff from one machine to the other. You may stumble over one or two issues, but likely not significant.
    In switching platforms there will be some inevitable issues, not so much with being able to import your stuff because there's usually a workaround or a utility that can help, but just with getting familiar with the platform and the differences between Windows and MacOS that can obscure their similarities. From time to time the support community here hears from a user who has found the migration very problematic and regrets it, but for the most part the phrase 'I should have done this years ago...' is rather more prevalent!

  • How can I embed files of word, excel, and pdf format in a pdf document

    I have a word document of the product, which I am updating for next product release. However, there are some excel, word, and pdf files embedded within a word document. When I double click these embedded files in word, these files open in a new window. However, we deliver documentation to the customer in the pdf format. Therefore, when I am converting the word document in the pdf format, only an icon of the embedded file is displayed and the files do not open in a new window. Can someone let me know how can I embed these files (in word, excel, and pdf format) in a pdf document?

    You must attach them to the PDF file after it is created. You cannot embed file attachments onto a page as you can with Word.

  • How can I stop Photoshop CS5.5 taking control of html and pdf files without the user's consent?

    Our client uses CS 5.5, and Photoshop will continuously take control of pdf and html files. This is without any interraction from the user, and after setting it back to the desired settings (pdf - Reader, html - Chrome), after some time (and doesn't seem to be related to anything the user does, restarting machine etc), Photoshop will snatch control of either or both of these extensions.
    Could you please advise on how best to deal with this issue? Resetting Photoshop preferences does work for a time but it is not long before the issues arise again.

    Thank you for the link, it is an encouraging read as I have not yet found anything even similar to my issue via searches.
    The machine has never had a previous version of Photoshop installed, but it does have Elements, which is used for scanning documents (which are then edited in photoshop and converted to pdf there). It is an involved process.
    Although I appreciate the link and your time, I'm afraid the issue in the link is the opposite issue - the other user cannot set the default, whereas my user cannot unset the default.

  • Can i use the icloud system to store cd's that i own that have been downloaded to itunes or just purchased songs?

    will i be able to store music on icloud  that i put into i tunes from cd's that i own in addition to itunes that i purchased?

    For Cds you rip you will be able to upload your songs, up to 5 GB as far as I know. If you want more you could subscribe to iTunes match - that will locate the songs you ripped in the iTunes store and push those to your mobile devices. But iTunes match will not be a free Service.

  • Can you store Word, Excel, and Power Point files in icloud from macbook

    Is there a way to store documents from my macbook using office 2011 for mac using iCloud? 
    If this is possible, is there a way that they can be in separate files from the documents on other devices?
    MacBook OSX 10.7.5

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Can I use my Time Capsule as a backup disk and storage?

    Can I use my Time Capsule as a backup disk and put files from my other USB external hard drive on it, using the TC as an external as well?

    Actually, there is a way to limit the amount of space Time Machine uses for backup so that it won't eat up all your disk space...for example, I have mine set to only use 65GB, and then it starts to overwrite older backups...Google it for more info. To begin with, I deleted my Sparse Disk Image Bundle from Time Capsule, and used Disk Utility to create a Sparse Disk Image Bundle (turn off backups first!!!) with a capacity of 65GB in HFS Journaled, Case Sensitive...The Image must be named as follows "Full Computer Name_Ethernet MAC Address" (The ethernet MAC address is used even if you plan to solely use wifi for backups). for example, my Sparse Disk Image Bundle name is "Ahmad Atiya's MacBook Pro_00254b9d8f72.sparsebundle" Move this image to your time capsule's main directory (if you didn't create it there to begin with). Go to your Time Machine preferences, turn it on, and set it to use your Time Capsule. It should start using the image you created. If you click "get info" on the disk image, it'll show a capacity of whatever you created.

    I have a limited storage in iPhone so i bought 20g iCloud. how can i use this iCloud storage in my device to store music and photos?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You could sign up for iTunes match and use iCloud photo library with optimisation enabled. The later will keep optimised photos on your device and iTunes match will let you access your whole collection and make room for newer content by removing older unplayed items.

  • TS3992 I have two computers. My iphone is sincronized in my laptop.. can I use just Icloud ion my desktop?

    I have 2 computers. My yphone is registered on my laptop.I am thoinking retire my laptop soon.. For now  Can I use only Icloud on my desktop?

    Icloud does not have restrictions on amount of computers. You can use it on your desktop or laptop or both. Sync with one computer's library comes in to play when you deal with licensed content sync, like music, movies, etc. Icloud only deals with personal info.(contacts, calendars, photos).
    there is another part that for marketing services Apple sells as icloud - itunes in the cloud. Feature that allows you to download your purchses at itunes/app store from any devices. That one is restricted to 5 computers.
