How do I store documents on iCloud?

I'd like to access documents from my iPhone that I've created on my MacBook Pro. In the way that I could access documents on mobile me.
thanks

You can use iCloud to access documents created by apps such as Pages and Numbers. There is no way to store documents not created by apps specifically designed for iCloud.

I asked a question about the iDisk and it looks like that's going away, but you could try one of these services:

The iDisk will disappear, and its contents be erased, when MobileMe terminates at the end of June. iCloud does not provide an equivalent replacement, so you will need to look for a third-party alternative. This page examines some options:

How do I save documents from iCloud into pages on my ipad?

HOw do I save documents from iCloud into pages using an ipad?

Where are you expecting to see "iCloud document?" Pages stores copies of your documents in iCloud but the documents appear in the Pages app. When you edit the document changes are automatically saved to iCloud. You do not go to iCloud to look for documents to open or copy.

Through the apps themselves, what files were you thinking of.
By the way, if your profile is correct, you don't have iCloud. iCloud comes with OSX 10.7.2 or later.

How do I reset Documents on iCloud?

I've read that this can solve my problem of contacts not syncing between devices. How do I do it? Thanks!

You would have to turn on iCloud first (Mac: System Preferences > iCloud > Documents & Data; iOS: Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data). Then you could use the latest version of apps like Pages, Numbers and Keynote to store documents on iCloud and sync it between devices.

HT4847 How can I store files on iCloud?

How can I store files on iCloud?

Actually, I have found that this is very possible, combining several other tips from around the web, though perhaps not easy. I am using Moutain Lion. I am assuming that you have already activated and signed into iCloud previously. Here are the steps for creating a cloud storage location that you can drage any file into, and access from any of your Macs:
1) Create a new folder in the directory that is synced with iCloud. Start by opening a Finder window, and going to the ~/Library/ directory. Do this by typing Shift-Command-G while the Finder is open, and typing ~/Library in the goto window. Next, open the directory "Mobile Documents". Finally, Control-Click inside the Finder and select the "New Folder" option, naming it whatever you like -- I chose "iCloud".
2) Step two is about creating a shortcut to this iCloud folder in the Finder. You cannot directly drag the iCloud folder into the Favorites section of the Finder, but you can do this: Control-Click on your new folder, and select "Make Alias". Now, drag this alias over to your Favories panel in the finder. You will be prompted whether you really want to move the Alias out of iCloud: Say "Yes". Now, delete the Alias -- you don't need the original instance of it any more. (Alternatively, you can skip to the end of step 3 and drag the symbolic link into the Finder Favorites)
3) Step three is about being able to access this iCloud folder from the Unix command line, and from the Desktop GUI. Open a Terminal window (Launchpad => Other => Terminal). By the way, I recommend putting the Terminal into your Taskbar, if it isn't already. You should be in your home directory ... to verify, type "cd" and press Enter. Now, create a Unix symbolic link (an Alias won't work for this) to the actual location of the iCloud folder:
Type "ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud/ iCloud" and press enter. The command should be entered precisely, I recommend cut and paste. The first character is a lower case "L" and there is a space after the backslash between "Mobile" and "Documents". You should now have a symbolic link to the iCloud folder created. To view it in the Finder, go to your home directory: Shift-Command-G, and then enter "~/" into the window. You should see a folder called "iCloud" there, with a little arrow animation in the corner. You can drag this into the Taskbar to have a permanent clickable shortcut. You can also access the contents of this folder through the terminal. From your home directory, just type "cd iCloud" and press Enter. You are now in the iCloud folder (or more properly, your local version of it), and can use the usual Unix tricks ... "ls" to list contents, "mkdir ABCD" to make a new directory called "ABCD", "mv a.txt b.txt" to rename a file "a.txt" into "b.txt", etc.
4) Step four is about accessing this folder on other machines. On a second Mac, repeat all of the steps above *EXCEPT* for creating the New Folder in step 1 ... it already exists, but you can get it into your finder bar, and create sym-links in the same way from there.
The great thing about this is that when you work, you are editing a *local* copy of the file, so you can work offline if you like. Then, whenever you have internet access, the *actual remote* cloud copy of any new or modified files is uploaded. Likewise, updated files are downloaded from the cloud to get your local files into sync. You have the benefit/safety of a local hard copy, AND the portability (and extra safety) of cloud storage. It's exactly what I wanted, and it works like a dream. Plus, time machine can back up your *local* copies, to maintain version history. I'm not quite sure what happens if you try to simultaneously edit a file from two places, but don't do that.
Hope that helps you!

Do I have to have iWork to store documents on iCloud?

Do I need to purchase the iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) in order to store documents on iCloud? I didn't need to on MobileMe. It certainly looks to be the case.

you need to have these mobile apps on your iOS5 device in order to be able to use the iwork-web-app storage/upload system in www.icloud.com, yes.
Iwork on a Mac is not necessarily needed - because the OSX versions have no iCloud features at all. You could as well use OpenOffice to create Microsoft compatible doc/xls and ppt files and upload these - the iOS apps will open them all as long as the format is Microsoft OR iwork09.

HT204053 how do i see documents in icloud

How do I setup Icloud to view documents.
I checked it in the preferences box but do not see an icon nor know where to store documents in order to be seen

Hi,
In fact, document can only be seen from within apps. On your Mac, it will be from within Pages, Numbers, etc. and from your iOS device, it will be again from the related apps. These updated apps for Mountain Lions have a feature to select where to open/save document; on iCloud or on Mac.
From iCloud.com, you can go on the iWork icon to see all your documents.
Again, this only work with Mountain Lion.

How do I store documents iniCloud?

Before iCloud, I could copy any document to iDisk and utilize it. How do you do this in iCloud? I have many PDF's still on iDisk. ? I know I can share docs using iWork and iLife, but what about MS Office or PDF's? I would love to have the same functionailty I had with iDisk...

Welcome to the discussions,
there is no disk mode for the ipod touch like it is for the other ipods. But there are app in the App Store which let you store documents, for example "air sharing" or similar.

that is how it is designed..
iwork on iOS uses different file extensions and formats (*.tef ) then iwork for Mac (*.number,*.key*.page) . It needs to be converted all the times so that the different apps can deal with the content of the documents.

How to I access documents in icloud drive from my iPad

I set up an icloud drive on my PC and stored my document. i have icloud set up on my iPad and iPhone. I can seem to figure out how to access those documents from the iPad or iPhone. I thought there might be an icloud app for access, but no.
Any help out there?

Sorry, I do not think rereading is any good. The fact is: I do not see what I "should" see.
I have checked that both on IOS and Mac I use the same icloud account, both have iCloud Drive enabled. On the Mac I have e.g. a custom folder "History"
On IOS, in Documents 5 by Readdle, after tapping icloud in the sidebar and then the iCloud Drive text, I see this: (in list view, alphabetically arranged):
So, my "History" folder does not show up at the "H" and not at the end.
I thinks there is still a fair bit of iCloud related "should's" that do not materialize in practice.
For example, this same History folder is 1.11 GB in size, and when I added it a few months ago, not all files were synchronized (I checked after a week!).
You never get a positive signal that all files have been uploaded. Thus far, iCloud leaves me with that same shaky iDisk feeling of 2007!

How to open pages documents in icloud on macbook air

I have pages on my IPhone, IPad and new MacBook Air. I have confirmed that my Pages documents are all in iCloud. However, I dont know how to find them from the Pages app on my MacBook Air. Any help?

You need to be using Mountain Lion to automatically have documents in iCloud visible on your Mac. You can go to iCloud.com in a web browser & download the files in an earlier OS.

How can I access documents from iCloud on my iPad.

how can I download docs from icloud drive on my iPad and edit them on ipad.

Hello Kalsulkar,
To use iCloud Drive and to work with documents, you will need the corresponding Pages, Keynote and Numbers iOS apps or third party iOS apps that support iCloud Drive to interact with those documents. To access the content, you would need to open one of those apps to see all the documents that are available to you for that specific app. Take a look at the article below for more information.
