Can't enable iCloud Drive on Win 8.1

I can't enable iCloud Drive on my Win 8.1 PC. I tick the box, and Apply, a window pops up requesting my password. Then, the tick box appears ticked, then immediately un-ticks.
Can anyone help, please?

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is related to network, as I am trying this through a work network managed centrally. I connected through my iPad's hotspot, and could enable iCloud, and all the folders are showing. Once connected back onto the work network, nothing downloads (or is doing it excruciatingly slowly).
Interestingly I can add stuff to the Windows iCloud drive, and these upload and show up elsewhere in iDevices, but nothing appears to be happening the other way...is it normal for a locked down network to allow access out but not in? Any ideas for getting round it (DropBox and OneDrive work fine on the same network)?

Can't see icloud drive folder in Windows 7

Hi all,
I'm running Windows 7 and icloud 4.0.
I'm familiar with apple products, and have followed all requirements to enable icloud drive on my ipad and iphone.
However I am unable to find the icloud drive icon/folder in Windows explorer on my PC.
When I select the checkbox to enable icloud drive within icloud on my PC then press 'apply', nothing happens. If I close icloud and then re-open it, the checkbox has returned to the unchecked state.
I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling icloud, no difference.
By the way, it all seems to run fine on my Windows 8 devices.
I can't find anyone else with a similar issue...any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Great you have figured it out finally. Just thought you should know that there is a bug in 11gR2 client and because of that Oracle driver version is shown as 11.1.0.7 instead of 11.2.0.2. This can be confusing 6 months or a year later down the road if you wanted to go back and upgrade your client to, let's say' 12g. To fix this, there is a patch available from Oracle metalink, patch id is p11731183 for 32bit and p11731184 for 64bit windows. This bug is mentioned in 1308617.1

Can you share iCloud drive storage with family members?

Seems like this would be a common question but Apple Support search came up empty. So, can you share iCloud drive storage with family members?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can share they space if they all use the same Apple ID, but that's not really a good idea, because you'll then share contacts, calendars, photos etc etc.

Can I prevent iCloud Drive uploading video. I only want to sync photos etc.

Okay, so I have iCloud Drive. I would like to use this feature for everything I do EXCEPT uploading and syncing videos. I do quite a bit of video stuff on my iPhone 6 Plus but as I always dump the content onto my Mac and it's not something I need to share between devices (I upload finished videos to Vimeo for that) is there away of selecting what iCloud Drive uploads and syncs. This is a very basic feature that I am pretty sure Apple wouldn't have overlooked, but I cant find out how to stop my video content from uploading.
Cheers in advance.

Enabling iCloud drive does not affect syncing contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. It will affect data used by apps such as Pages, Numbers, 1Password, etc.

Can not access iCloud drive from iPad

can not access iCloud drive from iPad

iOS 8/8.1 does not have an iCloud Drive app (that works like OneDrive or Dropbox, etc..). Instead you have to open the application first (ie. Numbers) which will show you your iCloud drive files that you can open and work with.
This is the exact reason I am currently migrating all of my documents BACK to OneDrive. If I don't know what the filetype is of a file that I am looking to open (ie. Word document or PDF) then I'm screwed. At least with OneDrive (or DropBox, or Google Drive, etc.) I can browse my files from my mobile device.

Can I move iCloud Drive folder to my Time Capsule?

Can I move iCloud Drive folder to my Time Capsule?
I have 250Gb storage on my Macbook, but plan to by the 500Gb storage plan from Apple. To do that I'd need to used the iCloud Drive folder on an larger external hard drive, instead of my own Macbook...
Does anyone knows if that can be done?
I also use Drop Box and it's local drive can be 'move' to an external HD easily...
Tks!

The iCloud Drive folder is is stored in your user library, in the folder ~/Library/Mobile Documents
If you want to move this folder to an external drive, you would have to relocate your home folder there. Moving the home folder is supported, but not moving parts of the user library.
But that would not be practical on a portable Mac to move the home folder to an external drive, because you could not log in without connecting the external drive.

There could be a disruption, try waiting a few hours. Apple has been making changes lately that has interrupted a number of services in certain countries and areas.

Hi ..
Unfortunately, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place until Yosemite is released this fall. Hopefully sometime in October.

Can I use iCloud Drive online only?

Can I use iCloud Drive online only? I don't want to store everything on my macbook pro. I only have 128 GB SSD and I don't want to fill it up with photos, music, etc. I still want to see everything in finder in the iCloud Drive folder, but I don't want it to be saved on my macbook.

Yes I know, but I want it to be used as external storage, not something where I store copies of stuff that I have already on my macbook
But iCloud Drive is not an external storage. It is a common storage that is synced and shared between all connected devices, and it is always available, even when you are not connected to the internet.
What you want to do is not possible with iCloud Drive.

Can I share icloud drive storage between family members?

I am looking for easy offsite storage that can be easily accessed. I have been reading a bit about the icloud drive, and it seems simple to add and open files. Can I share the storage with my husband and his computer or not? We currently use carbonite as a backup program. Would icloud drive replace that?
Thank you.
Katie

iCloud Drive is tied one AppleID. If you want to share it, all family members would have to use the same Apple ID.
The only Family Sharing Apple Supports for family members with different AppleIDs is sharing your purchases: iTunes items, iBooks, AppStore Purchases, see: http://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/
But iCloud Drive cannot be shared between different AppleIDs, and it is also not meant to be a cloud backup.It is used to store your current working copies of your most important documents, that you need on all devices, and keep the documents updated on all devices.

How can I make iCloud Drive sync?

Hi everyone,
I would very much like to use iCloud Drive but I can't get it to sync reliably. Last night I deleted 34 presentations from my iCloud Keynote folder on my MacBook Pro. This morning I booted up my iMac and the files were still there after an hour. Why were they not deleted when I started up my iMac? A few weeks ago I did a bigger experiment where I moved a number of project folders from the Documents folder of my home iMac to my iCloud Drive. Hours later on my iMac at work, most of the files were still not there (my work iMac is on all the time). I worked on one of the files, and when I got back home, it was not updated.
Any advice on how I can get iCloud Drive to work properly? I can't use it if it is this unreliable.
Gregory

That is not supported. iCloud Drive is not meant as a "remote only" storage or backup, its main purpose is to give you access to all your documents across all devices and to update the documents across all devices. The local shadow copies will ensure that you have access to your document, even if you are not connected to the internet.

HT201232 how can I stop icloud drive from upgrading?

iCloud drive has been updating almost 2 days or longer on my 5s. How can I stop it from upgrading so long?
I was having a problem with not being able to swipe pages and opening apps for almost 3 weeks, so I downloaded iOS 8.1 to see if that would help but it didn't and now the icloud drive won't stop updating on my 5s. I unclicked icloud on my laptop and backed up to my computer but that didn't stop iCloud updating on my phone, I've also reset my phone and that didn't help.

The problem is that should iCloud Photo restart, say, through a computer restart, the problem starts all over again. Apparently removing the photo from iPhoto did not do the trick.
Did you delete the corrupted photo from its event and from My Photo Stream as well? Have you deleted the photo completely by emptying iPhoto's Trash and the System Trash?
You could also try to delete the photos from the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/
That will remove the temporary copy of "My Photo Stream" on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/.

Can I access icloud drive documents without an internet connection

The answer seems obvious, unless copies are also stored on my Macbook for situations where Internet is not available.

Set the Finder Sidebar preferences so that the iCloud drive is included in the Favorites section of the Finder sidebar:
Then you can access the local copies via:

Can I use iCloud Drive like an external drive?

I would like to use iCloud Drive to store my stuff (docs, videos, photos etc) but I don't what these same files occupying storage on my local hard disk.
Is it possible to use iCloud Drive to upload files that I want stored there and then simply download them when needed. Or...
...can I be selective with which files/folders sync and which don't?

What's on your computer is a phantom listing. The only space it uses is that needed for the entries.
That's only for files from apps that can save directly to the iCloud drive, Numbers, Pages, etc. If you add local files/folders to the iCloud Drive folder locally
the files just get moved to that folder which is in the ~Library/Mobile Documents folder and remain on the hard drive while also being copied to the iCloud Driver servers for access by other devices. However, those files must be downloaded to the other devices before they can be viewed or used on that device. They can't be viewed or otherwise accessed at iCloud.com.
So if one were to drag several folders of files into the iCloud Drive window as shown above all it's doing is moving them to a different location and copying them to the iCloud drive. There's no saving of space on the hard drive.
