Can iCloud be used on my iPad like Dropbox or Onedrive?

can I drag files to the iCloud folder on my Mac and access them somehow on my iPad in a similar way that can be done with Dropbox or Onedrive?
Thanks.

Howdy southwestform,
Using iCloud for transferring files from a Mac to an iOS device such as your iPad is dependent on the application your are using on the iPad. Apple applications such as Pages and Numbers, for instance, can use iCloud Drive. Some apps made by third parties also support the use of iCloud Drive. To find out if the applications you want to use support it, contact the maker of that application.
See this article for information about iCloud Drive -
iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • I've just purchased an iPad 3, 4th edition. I have been using a PC with Microsoft office xp and would like to sync. My emails, contacts, word docs, photos, music now and in the future. What are my best options? Also, can icloud be used with my PC.

  • Can iCloud be used with snow leopard on a Mac if you have an ipad2?

    Can iCloud be used with a Mac that has been upgraded to it's full capacity with snow leopard if you are using it with an ipad2 and iPhone 4 ( with upgraded system)?

    If you have joined iCloud on your iPad, this will be the situation on your Snow Leopard Mac:
    You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email. A pictorial instruction page on doing this is here.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
    There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is)

  • Can iCloud be use for existing photo storage

    can icloud be used for storage of all my existing photos as long as i buy the extra storage?

    No. iCloud is not a backup and Photo Stream has 1000 photos and 1 month limitation.
    You can use Dropbox app for that.

  • Hi. I'm new to this and thought I already posted this question, but don't see it anywhere. My question: If I get a new iPhone, can I still use the old one like an iPod and download music and apps?

    If I buy a new iphone, can I still use the old one like an ipod with my iMac and download music, videos and apps?

    Absolutely, Yes. I'm sure that many iPhones are "recycled" that way within a family.
    The worst that will happen is that once in a while it will remind you to activate it as a phone. Just ignore the notifications.

  • How can I print to PDF on iPad like I do on laptop?

    How can I print to PDF on iPad like I do on laptop?

    You can probably get deeper answers on the Apple website because what you're asking is a general iPad question, and not particular to a Reader.
    If you have an AirPrint-equipped printer, you should just choose the Share button (arrow out of box icon), then choose Print Document.
    Here's an Apple document about AirPrint:
    AirPrint basics
    If you don't have an AirPrint printer, but another, you may be able to print to it with an app like Printer Pro. You can do a Google search on that.

  • Can ARD be used with the ipad 2?

    Can ARD be used with the ipad 2?

    No, neither as a client or as the adminstrator station. There are apps that allow you to take control of another computer from your iPad, if that's your interest, and other apps/service, such as LogMeIn Ignition, that allow you to do more administration functions from your iPad or, as with the Casper suite from JAMF Software, manage your iPad from another system.

  • How do I move files in iCloud while using my mini iPad?

    I just recently got an iPad mini with retina display.  This is my first iPad.  There are many things that are new to me.
    At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to move or delete files in iCloud Drive while using my mini iPad.  As I understand it, the only way to look at, organize or move files in the iCloud drive is to login to iCloud via a browser other than installing a separate specific application that lets me do that.  However, I have found that even if I login to the iCloud drive using a browser, I still can't move or delete files while using the mini iPad although I can view the file list and folder list, create file folders, and use files for which I already have an application installed.
    How do I get around this so that I can do those things?  Do I really have to get a separate application to do that?  If so, what's a good one to use?

    Hi Files get sent to iCloud when you backup this happens Automatically When you charge your iPad Since ios 7 Almost everything can be done over your WiFi Software updates  apps& data can all be synced over WiFi We have  2 iPhones & 3 iPads & have not used PC for over a year. For Apple Devices. Go to ibooks download iPad user guide its Free. Cheers Brian

  • Why can't I use my new IPad to pay in stores with apple pay?

    I want to know why it is not possible to use your ipad mini 3 or ipad air 2 to pay with apple pay in stores. Why can you only use apple pay online with ipads and with iphones you can use them for in store purchases and online purchases. I mean I guess how it makes sense to apple, sense most people wouldn't want to bring there ipad a long with them to pay, but for some people, especially if you have the latest ipad mini which is like a phablet anyways, I feel like it would be nice if you could use it to pay in store with apple pay.

    We have no clue as to what Apple may come up with in future models, but for now the snazzy tap&go allure of ApplePay can only be done using an iPhone 6 or 6plus.
    Purportedly the rest of the devices can do thru-the-web Apple Pay-ment, but that's not as sexy and not as widespread.

  • Can iCloud be used like a carbonite backup?

    I'm new to Mac. Bought an iMac and am wondering if iCloud should be or can be used like an offsite backup like Carbonite?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iCloud can be used to back up iOS devices for purposes of performing a complete restore, however iCloud is primarily a sync service and shouldn't be used to back up your mac.
