HT201104 iCloud Drive access through Safari on iOS

This may seem like an obvious omission (at least in my mind), but I would have thought Safari on iOS would access the iCloud Drive when I choose to upload a file? Any reason why not?

If you are using iCabMobile Web Browser and you set Browser ID to Safari 5 (Mac), you will be able to access icloud.com

Am not able to use facebook on my Iphone 4, softwareversion:iOS7.1, also tried to access through safari and chrome that i have installed it gives an error message saying: "safari could not open the page because server stopped responding", i tried network reset, reset the whole device, rebooting , changing airplane mode rebooting nothing fix the issue, but i can access other sites and google , am using Vodafone as my carrier with 2g network, when at home able to access facebook.com through wifi in safari requesting assistance thank you

If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier. You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

Where is the iCloud Drive app icon (folder) in iOS 8? Like the one the show on their website.

I am running Yosemite on my Macs and updated to ios8 on all of my iPads and iPhone. Yet, I have found no way to access my iCloud Drive folder on the mobile devices. The Apple website for iCloud clearly shows iOS devices viewing an iCloud drive folder with end user customized sub-folders. I called tech support and they agreed that that's what the website was showing but informed me that as iCloud Drive and ios8 are so new they did not know yet how to set them up. I arrange my files by project not program and I need to view PDFs and other non iWork's files. Does anyone out there have a clue? Thank you.

I'm not using it, but my understanding is that you can only access iCloud Drive documents on an iOS device from within an app that is iCloud Drive compatible. At least at the present time, there isn't an iCloud Drive app for an iOS device that provides general access to documents. See http://www.imore.com/icloud-drive-clearing-up-confusion.

How do you attach an iCloud drive file to email in iOS 8?

I've just updated to the iOS 8 and the only feature I was looking forward to was iCloud drive actually letting me manage files properly - e.g. attach a file to an email. However, as far as I can tell, there's no way to actually do this. There's no "attachment" button in the mail app and you can't even access the iCloud drive via a quasi-finder view to copy/paste... Has Apple forgotten that people like to email attachments to each other?

Likewise, there seems to be no way to save an attachment to iCloud Drive in iOS 8. You can send it to all kinds of other applications. Real life scenario from yesterday:
In train with my iPad. Received pdf document from client A that I wanted to send to another client, B. But I need to do this as a reply to a mail from client B, not by forwarding the mail from client A. HA!, iCloud drive I thought, and pressed the "open in" (document with arrow pointing upwards) symbol. It will let me open in 20 different apps, but not anything related to iCloud Drive. In addition, there is no way to actually insert anything but a photo or video into a new mail. To send something else as an attachment, you will have to start in an app that handles the file type (so I could have gotten half the way by opening the PDF in PDF Expert, or another PDF program, and used the "Send by E-mail" option there - still wouldn't have allowed me to send the doc as a reply to another mail - let alone extracting the file from the mail and getting it synced back to my mac via iCloud drive).
Had to get my Mac from my bag, connect to my phone hotspot, wait for the mailbox to sync, and do the sending from OS X Mail.

HT201104 iCloud Drive FAQ raises more questions than it answers

I am tired of seeing statements from Apple stating that any file or folder can be stored on iCloud Drive and then kept up to date across all devices. As far as I can see this is simply not true. iOS has no file system as such, so you simply can't see files that aren't associated with a particular app. Another question I have seen asked by a number of people and to which I have seen no satisfactory answer is: where is my iCloud Drive folder locally on my Mac and is it backed up by Time Machine?
iCloud Drive is a total mess. Why oh why oh why didn't Apple just go and buy Dropbox. With Dropbox I know exactly where my local folder is and it is backed up with Time Machine. I can store any file I want and see it either through Finder on my Mac or Dropbox app on my iOS devices. If I want to open a particular file on an iOS device, I simply use the 'open in' and it's job done.
One thing that would make a massive difference here is a Dropbox like app for iCloud Drive. It wouldn't fix all the problems but it would go a long way to making it actually usable. Are there plans to do this?

I'm new to this forum but have shared your frustrations. Some of your technical questions may be answered in the latest Lenovo Personal Systems Reference (PSREF) version 403 released on July 20, 2011. The Ideacentre pdf has the B520 information. It can be found at:

Changes made on a mac (iCloud drive) are not reflected on IOS device?

I have installed Yosemite and have flicked on 'iCloud Drive' - I am not able to see the changes that were made on a mac being reflected on the IOS IPAD device. I can however see these reflected changes on my iPhone?

As far as I understood there is no such an app like "file manager" for the icloud drive. So its impossible to access your files from your iOS8 device..!!! Amazing ah!!! Therefore you CAN'T read .pdf files!!!. ibook doesnt work for that job. Another surprise in the post-Jobs Apple!!
Apple sometimes hurts much!!

Will iCloud drive ever have its own iOS 8 app?

Whether I sign up for iCloud drive or not depends on me having an app to access my MS Word documents (ideally a free one). Has Apple indicated whether an app is likely, or ruled it out altogether?

Nope. Apple has said nothing about an App to directly access iCloud Drive one way or the other.
However, there are other Apps in the store that do have this ability. Documents 5 by Readdle is one such App and happens to be free.

HT201104 iCloud drive set up is taking over an hour...is this normal?

I just loaded Yose on my macbook pro and I am trying to set up iCloud Drive...it has been spinning in set up mode for over an hour.

I started to have the problem when I was trying to sync 1Password after first loading Yose...and before I set up iCloud Drive via systems preferences. I fixed it by quitting the set up and re-booting a couple of times and starting over from system preferences/icloud. When I quit the set-up I just ok'd the warnings about not being able to access iCloud data. But not-to-worry all data seems to be available.

HT201104 iCloud Drive and Photo Library

If I upload my entire Photo Library to iCloud Drive, then delete photos from my Library (on my computer), can I still access those deleted photos on my iCloud Drive?
Basically, my Photo Library is taking up too much space on my computer so I'm trying to alleviate some of that space without buying an external hard drive immediately.

If I upload my entire Photo Library to iCloud Drive, then delete photos from my Library (on my computer), can I still access those deleted photos on my iCloud Drive?
An iPhoto library will not work properly on iCloud Drive. It will be corrupted by the syncing. An iPhoto Library needs to be on a locally connected volume or on your system drive. Move your iPhoto Library to a small portable drive as described here: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
A second problem is, that you cannot save space on your computer by uploading to iCloud Drive, because iCloud will keep local shadow copies of all items in your user library. Moving files to include Drive will not save any space at all. (iCloud Drive FAQ)

I cannot connect to my earthlink email using Firefox ??? I can access through Safari and have talked with Earthlink. Also, ever since Firefox has changed format, the speed of my service has been diminished. What is going on???

The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Hey there Mr. Spock,
It sounds like you have done most of the troubleshooting in http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972, and home sharing on one computer. I dont know if you have done this, but I would next check the Firewall settings with that article.
Troubleshooting Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972
5. Check Firewall settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
For more information on ports used by Apple products, see Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I can't find my files through iCloud Drive

Through Safari, on my Mac, I added files to Preview in my iCloud account. I cannot find them on my iPhone or iPad. Can anybody help?

There is no icloud drive app available for ios devices so icloud drive is kinda useless on ios devices.
You have too use other apps with icloud drive support like documents 5 but this does not work perfect for me.

Icloud drive on ios .. How to make it a perfect experience ?? Here is a simple suggestion

Dear apple if you want to make the Ios a perfect experience and shut the comptitors noise about difficculty in transfering files in and out of an ios device it is so simple now after the icloud drive is here .. Just one simple thing
create an icloud drive icon in the ios system allowing users to access files on the icloud drive in the same way it is accessed on yosmite or icloud.com... it will be very user friendly and easy to use and will end the fear of ios closed source policy some people have
another option in safari called download to icloud drive would really take the ios into another level believe me nobody would not think this is perfect

I am discussing just like asking here how to delete my other you say delete the cache then i ask how to delete cache for example for facebook you say that there is an option of viewing them in the setting usage page but you can only delete the whole app so i say hay apple ! please add an option for deleting cache of applications is that bad ? Is that too much ?! is it a crime to think that yes apple should do this
Not a crime no, but a violation of the terms that you agreed to.
Send your suggestion to Apple using the method posted previously.

Why doesn't apple offer a viewer/file browser for iCloud Drive?

Why doesn't apple offer a viewer/file browser for iCloud Drive?
Dropbox, Microsoft’s OneDrive, and Google Drive all have viewer apps that let you see and manage what’s in the drive. The only way you can do that with iCloud Drive is through a web browser. Very frustrating and backward.

I found a possible band-aid for our problem:
1) On iOS 8 Device, go to Safari / iCloud.com
2) Once you get to iCloud.com, you'll notice it won't give you the option to log in.
3) Tap on the URL bar (this should bring up your bookmarks bar and Frequently Visited Sites)
4) Tap, Hold, and Slide your finger down on that section (this will reveal two options: (1) Add to Favorites, and (2) Request Desktop Site
5) Tap Request Desktop Site
Log in as usual, and you can now access iCloud Drive with your PDFs and other documents like any other computer.
I too am disappointed as I was looking forward to view PDF's shared between my Macbook and my iPad, but I think this should work until Apple comes out with a solution.

Webmail - Outlook Webmail Access on Safari

Hi
Since upgrading to iOS 5 im having trouble using Outlook Web Access through Safari.
I can type in an email but if I try to go back and edit it I cannot edit it. I then cannot type anything.
In fact typing as a whole is slow to respond.
Please help.
Dave

I have a website that a friend set up for me, on which I have a POP account. I have set it up as an account in Mail, and although the username and password are correct, it won't work. It does on my iphone however, so it's not the account/server.
I am a local councillor and want to access the Council's email (London Borough of Camden: https://webmail.lbcamden.net/) via their webmail facility. Every time I try to log on it says "could not log on with the information supplied", whether using Safari or Firefox. Again, my iphone connects to it satisfactorily, and my security details work on other machines.
Another client offers a webmail service via Outlook Web Access, for an additional address they have created for me, and that is working satisfactorily.

I can no longer share because I do not have iCloud Drive or Yosemite????

I do not use iOS, I use Android, though I am a Mac and iCloud user. I have several Numbers spreadsheets that I share with other people that without warning no longer share!!!! I am told I need to upgrade to iCloud Drive on my iOS device, which I do not have one. I am told I need to upgrade to Yosemite to continue sharing my files and unless I am mistaken, Yosemite is not available!!!!!! And, I can no longer log into iCloud to even see my files because I have not upgrade to iCloud drive on my non-existant iOS device or through Yosemite which is not available!!!
Am I missing something here????

You (Windows user) may be in luck if you want to switch to iCloud Drive.
According to the specs, it is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8. I don't know about sharing, though.
See the Ars Technica article.
