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 do I 'upload' files to iCloud Drive from my iPad outside of Pages/Numbers/Keynote?

    I want to get files off of my iPad (only 16GB!), specifically photos, PDFs and documents and be able to access them from iCloud when I need them
    I don't see an app for iCloud Drive
    Nor do I see apps that I would use for PDFs and documents such as Acrobat Reader from which I can store files in iCloud
    Help please

    Looks like this has been solved by yesterdays IOS8 update - thanks!

  • Can't access documents on iCloud /message from iCloud Drive

    Does anyone have the same problem, I have not updated to iCloud Drive when asked, since Yosemite it is not available yet for everyone, and since we will not being able to open documents from prior systems (iOS7 or Mavericks). My iPhone has iOS 8, and my Mac Mavericks, if I use Numbers or Pages from the computer then it works, but if I try to open it from iCloud Apps instead, it shows me a message warning about this condition of iCloud Drive, so I chose NO, but instead of open the files, it goes to the home manu on iCloud, so no access allowed to the files stored on the iCloud apps from there. Any suggestion on this, I need to open a file from my other account not set up on this computer, before I used to use iCloud over the web, to access them....

    iCloud does'nt store ALL of your photos, only 1000 max and it only has those that have been taken by a mobile device that's signed into your iCloud account and has Photo Stream activated or the those in your library if you have Photo Stream activated and set to automatically upload all new photos imported into your library (3rd checkbox). 
    However, there is a 1000 photo limit and they will be purged every 30 days.
    I suggest you go into iPhoto's Accounts section and delete your iCloud account and log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane.  Then log back in and go back to iPhoto and add the iCloud account back.

  • How to create new folders on iCloud Drive from iOS or with document picker?

    Recently I wanted to share several files from my iWorks suite with my colleagues. I do not want them to edit these files, instead I made templates in Numbers for easier management of hours worked. Everyone could download their copy and keep a track of their hours themselves. The problem is, not everyone has an Apple product.
    Unfortunately, iOS does not support native browsing of iCloud Drive (except the document picker, which, to me, isn't helpful at all), the only way I know of - to create a new folder - is to open iCloud.com in Safari, request the desktop site and make a new folder from there.
    Is there another way of creating new folders, preferably an official app from Apple or from within an iWorks app or the document picker that I do not know of? Or is this actually a missing feature?
    Also, if Apple could make an app similar to Microsoft OneDrive, that would be great.

    Yes, there is a way. Here is the workaround. You can add notes folders directly with your iPad or iPhone.

  • How do I access folders in iCloud Drive when in Keynote, Pages or Numbers?

    I have upgraded my iOS to 8 and Mavericks to Yosemite beta. I created folders in Finder (under iCloud Drive) and can see them in the web apps in iCloud. However, files that I moved to those new folders are nowhere to be found on the iPad or iPhone. I have noted that as long as I keep them in the default folders that transferred over, they do show up. But, this is counter productive as I would like to be able to better organize my folders and files. Is this something that Apple will eventually figure out or will it always be steps behind. I really like iWork (save for Numbers, perhaps) and would use it more often if these simple things could get worked. out.

    I'm having the same problem bpay14, but with a CalDigit VR2 6TB RAID0 external hard drive.
    One day it was showing on my desktop, the other it wasn't. And I still didn't update my Mavericks to 10.9.3 (still with the 10.9.2).
    It shows up in the disk utility, and I can even Verify the disk and Repair it (but I don't wanna start repairing
    something that probably doesn't need to be repaired, so I haven't clicked the Repaid button, only the Verify button) and it says its working just fine.
    But it doesn't show in the Finder or the desktop for that matter.
    And even if I force disconnect the cable, I get the usual "this disk was not ejected properly" notification
    presumingly the disk was mounted on the desktop and I forced eject by unppluging it...
    I found a way to force open the disk, through Disk Utility that's by clicking with the right mouse button
    on the disk icon, and chosing OPEN "CalDigit AFRICA 6TB"... (see picture 1)
    But... after that, it open a Finder window showing all my internal and external drives, but that drive's
    name is in washed grey, like if it was unmounted (see picture 2).
    When selected, I can see everything and work normally on the harddrive, even opening FCPROX projects or Libraries, copying from it and writing documents into it... just normal... (see picture 3)
    BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW IN THE DESKTOP...
    that's my problem...
    I even did a Command+i for Info on the hard drive. (see picture 4)
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
    I would be eternally grateful!
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Cheers!

  • How do I access documents in iCloud.

    I can't find an iCloud icon & iCloud.com doesn't work? It tells me to set up iCloud but I already did that.

    You can't access iCloud.com from an iOS device. To access data, use the appropriate app, like contacts, calendar, etc.
    There is no iCloud icon. Are you trying to access a general storage area to move files to, like Dropbox or the now terminated iDisk?  iCloud doesn't off such a feature.
    What kinds of files are you trying to access on iCloud.

  • How can I access the Home Sharing Library from my iPad?

    We have an ipad 2 with ios 7, and an imac with itunes 11.1.3
    Just heard about home sharing and want to use this - surprised we haven't heard of it before
    home sharing is turned on in itunes (file > home sharing).
    home sharing is on for the ipad (settings > music)
    They are both connected to the same wifi network (usually our computer doesnt use wifi and is wired, but we turned wifi on just for this)
    When I open music in the ipad (even after continually quitting and reopening the app) there is no 'more' button in the bottom right that there is supposed to be.
    What is wrong? How do I access the library from the ipad? Help please!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    More does more than home sharing, so it's odd that it isn't there, even if home sharing wasn't working for some reason. Are you sure you are in the music app and not the iTunes App.

  • How can I access mail on my mac from my iPad?

    I have recently converted to imac and ipad mini from Windows and so am still a newcomer to planet apple.  I think I have eventually sorted myself out but with one exception in mail.
    I have transferred my outlook for mac filing system to mail using OLM Converter pro and all seems well except that I want to be able to see use and sync the filing system from my ipad mini as well as the mac.  It seems I need to transfer the filing system on my mac to the server so the ipad can access it - is this right, can it be done and how?
    Any other fixes very welcome please
    many thanks!

    thanks for the reply.  sorry I didn't make it clear regarding the "filing system" - this is just my name for the series of folders I created in Outlook for storing my emails.  Are you able to help with this?

  • How do I access my Mac hard drive from my Windows OS?

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro and had it partitioned into two hard drives, 65 gig of mac and 35 gig of windows, which will mostly be for games. However, when I am running OS X, i can explore the windows hard drive, but when I run XP, I can't explore the Mac hard drive. I turned file sharing on, so I thought I should be able to. My main reason for this question is because I moved my music to the mac side, and I want windows to be able to access it so that I dont have to store it on both sides. Thanks so much!

    Hi Josh!
    If you're sharing from Mac to Windows then obviously your network connection is working fine. What happens when you try to share from Windows to Mac? Are you getting error messages?
    I highly suggest using SharePoints to create the Windows shares on your Mac. Then on your Windows machine go to Start --> Run and enter something like "\\MacIPaddress\newshare".
    Hope this helps! bill

  • How can i access my home itunes library from an ipad while i'm abroad?

    I've got my ipad 2 with me on holiday abroad and want to access a video that is stored on my laptop back home (it is in iTunes on the laptop but is not a purchased video). I have home sharing turned on on both the ipad and the home account - can i use this to see the video I want to watch? I can get someone at home to turn my laptop on all day if it needs to be on to use home sharing??
    I've got an iPad2 running iOs 8.xx   and the windows 7 laptop at home has itunes version 12.01.26

    Thanks, sounds like I may be stuck - unless you know how to upload a film from iTunes on my laptop onto the Cloud? Every time I've tried in the past it seems I can only upload music photos and documents but not videos?
    Or is there a way to set up a VPN so my iPad thinks it is connected to my home network and therefore enables me to use home sharing whilst abroad?

  • How to delete somebody else's iCloud Account from my iPad Air?

    Hi,
    Recently I have bought an iPad Air on a eBay-like site. There the seller said that the item was new but when I chacked the serial number, the device was  already  registered since January. Regardless ths I reset it, created an Apple ID for me and started registering the things under my name. When it came to iCloud, I have  found that all my data was been transferred to somebody else's iCloud account. I tried to delete this account to put mine, but for this it  requires the password of this other user.
    I have contacted the seller, who informed that in fact he didn't know about it because he only won it and decided to resell it, but promissed to investigate and try to resolve it, but in fact I guess I cant cound so much on it and I'm pretty dissapointed and  lost with this  situation. Do you  guys know what I could to remove this account?
    Thanks in advance!

    You will not be able to find the previous user in any Apple database. They wouldn't share that information with anyone as they would be violating privacy issues - unless of course they were directed to do so by a court order.
    There is just something that bothers me about this whole situation and I feel for you, but I would also hesitate to email somebody that I didn't know about asking him to erase his iCloud account. How the iPad could go from one owner to another owner and now to you, without being erased, just gives me a bad feeling, but that's just how I feel about it.
    I guess though at this point, you know worlds more about him than he knows about you if you have his name and email address.

  • How do I delete someone's icloud account from my ipad?

    This person set up my new ipad with his apple ID instead of letting me create my own, I somehow got rid of it but now I've updated to IOS 8 and for some reason his icloud account is still on my ipad, I can't sign out and use my ID because I have to turn off ''find my ipad'' and it wont let me do that without a password, I have really bad memories of this person and this is driving me insane because it's a constant reminder ,every 15 minutes or so icloud pops up and asks me to sign in with this account. Any help would be much appreciated, and no, there is no way I can get this person's password.

    Hi Zaneholland23!
    I would recommend the steps in the following article to fully get rid of the previous user's personal data:
