I almost always receive the message "[filename] file couldn't be opened" when opening an existing Pages file in iCloud. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am using a MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2, using Pages 5.5.2.
I've tried signing off and on, and restarting my MacBook, which sometimes works, but the problem re-occurs. Same problem using Apple Numbers and iCloud.
Opening local files seems to work more consistently.
This issue has made Pages and iCloud fairly useless to me. Does anyone have any ideas how to correct this?
Thanks.

Hi Ibo,
This is what just worked for me:
In Finder, I've dragged all Pages files from the iCloud Drive to the Documents folder on my iMac. (Finder asks your confirmation to remove the files from iCloud; confirm that)
Once they were on my local hard drive, the files could be opened again.
It looks to me as if something has changed in iCloud quite recently, leading to this mess. Not the first time, I've had this before. Now it's back. Sigh. And, as you wrote, it renders iCloud fairly useless. Back to Dropbox I suppose.
