ICloud Drive iOS app?

Hello, This may of been posted before but I wanted to know if there is or will be an iCloud Drive app for iOS or any other OS?

For Windows and OS X, there already is. Pretty much any browser (www.icloud.com). For iOS, I suppose it is possible, but the approach to iCloud is still pretty much direct integration with the apps that can do the work with the stored file (iWorks Apps, any third party app that is designed to use iCloud). Documents by Readdle connects to Drive. There may be some others in the app store.

Docs on iCloud vs. iCloud Drive, iOS 8

Cannot say how incredible could be finding all the iCloud docs disappeared (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). Apparently without any chance of recovering them within the apps, even by switching ON and OFF several times all the general and app' settings of iCloud and iCloud Drive.
It seemed like a joke: it isn't.
SImply, we cannot enable iCloud Drive, as long as no one yet possesses Yosemite on Mac. The most of us tried to keep working iCloud without any chance to see any document we had since the day before having upgraded to iOS8.
I have no words to describe how disappointing this behaviour is from Apple. How impossible could be that Apple didn't consider it.
What we see is showing shiny new capabilities: without any intersest by Apple on their usability, even for the users they have the most updated OSs' and machines, as I do.
Completely disappointing for an Apple/Mac user and evangelist like me (since 2001), that always tried (and succeeded) to let people understand how switching to Apple/Mac is trustable. Even by simplyfying everyday tasks and issues.
It's a BIG deal. It's a BIG issue.
It seems to be like a symptom that something really changed about the proverbial reliability of Apple products (and upgrades).

EDIT:
Being more precise: I thought I was not the only one that works on a Pages/Numbers doc on the Mac, finding it - through iCloud - on my iPhone or iPad afterwards (or vice versa).
Assumed that, pretending us to switch to Yosemite before enabling iCloud Drive, is completely an absurdity.
Because, as Apple says - if we switch to iCloud Drive - we cut off ALL the interactions with EVERY MAC we have or use WITHOUT YOSEMITE.
And - if we try to "stay" with the "normal" iCloud - nothing will appear anymore within our previously saved documents on our apps: Pages, etc.
I didn't imagine it was so difficult to figure it out, being so an evidence.

What are the potentials of icloud in ios app development

what kind of apps can be developed using iCloud integration in cocoa touch? what functionalities does iCloud provide ?

Utilizing the cloud gives app developers a lot of potential; makes it much easier and faster for them to design apps that have synchronized app storage across all the users iOS devices. Ex. Games that the users progress is in sync on thier iPhone and iPad; just pick up a device and pick up where you left off. Productivity apps where projects the user works on are sync'd between devices. Apps that share history and/or bookmark type content. You get the idea..
Really the sky is the limit.. :)
If your looking for more API specific type information or examples, this may not be the best forum for a thorough answer.

I would like to use iCloud drive on my iPhone instead of dropbox but there is no app. Any suggestions??

Hi -
I would like to use iCloud drive on my iPhone and access all my files. I can do that very easily using Dropbox but I cannot find an app for iCloud Drive that works the same way. Am I overlooking something?????

For individual Apps to access iCloud drive, the APP Developer must set that up. If it is not an option in a specific application that you use, you should submit feedback to the App Developer to add the feature.

Is it a good idea to only save my photos on iCloud Drive instead of paying extra for phone storage?

I'd rather not pay too much for extra storage space when I buy my phone and I am willing to pay 0.99 cents per month for iCloud Drive.

Given all the issues people are having right now with iCloud Drive you would be better off waiting for iCloud photo library to be introduced later this year. It's designed for allow you to keep your photos in iCloud without having to store them all on your phone. Besides, you have to use iCloud Drive compatible apps to access documents and data on your iCloud Drive, and as far as I know, there aren't any such apps to access or store photos there from your iOS devices yet.

How do I open a pdf uploaded to iCloud Drive | Preview?

On my iMac I uploaded a pdf to iCloud Drive | Preview. I want to view it on my iPad. Using the Documents app Preview is grayed out. What is the magic to get the pdf to appear?

You have to use an iCloud drive compatible app that can read PDFs, such as Documents 5 by Readdle.

ICloud Drive not syncing photos before 2013 to iPhone 5 -

My iCloud Drive ios 8, not syncing propenly with Windows 7 laptop. Storage fine on iCloud, but iPhone and iPad 5 only receiving photos back to 2013, photos before 2013, in same Windows laptop folder, not appearing on phone or pad.

Double check this thread, especially the last few pages, this is impacting many people:
iCloud Drive not syncing locally
In the first post, be sure to click on the "I also have this question", so Apple knows this is a big deal.

Drop Box seems more useful than iCloud Drive

Give an example of how one would open a PDF using iCloud drive on their iPhone. On dropbox you go to a folder structure and open the file. Dropbox has built in PDF viewer. I can not even find the file on my iPhone because there is no iCloud drive folder/app. I assume that you must add some other app to read the PDF.

I know I have the same issue!
At the moment I solved temporarly by saving pdfs on iBook.

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.

File App for iCloud driv on iOS

ssuggest me an app to view files and folders like Dropbox app on iOS

There isn't one. On an iOS device, you access iCloud Drive files from within apps that support iCloud Drive. See http://www.imore.com/icloud-drive-clearing-up-confusion.

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.

How do I consolidate all this at this point: Icloud Drive, Itunes Match, Local iTunes Library, Local iPhoto, Local Aperture, Photo stream, Familly sharing, sharing on iOS, music sharing on iOS, music sharing on mac etc.

I am trying to grasp all the possibilities for consolidating my stuff and my family's stuff from multiple devices and multiple accounts from multiple sources but I cant.
I have been reading many instructions and FAQ regarding iCloud Drive, iCloud Sharing, iTunes Match, Familly Sharing, file size limitations on iCloud Drive, app sharing on iOS, Backup vs Sync vs cloud sharing, storing iWork documents on iCloud drive, storing iTunes library on iCloud Drive, storing iPhoto library on iCloud Drive, storing Aperture library on the iCloud, the Photos app on iOS with iCloud and many others.... but I feel like I need a systems admin course from apple to manage all of it.
This is what I and my family currently have:
Hardware: Multiple iPhones, Multiple Macs, Apple TV (with hard drive), Multiple iPads.
Operating systems: Everything is upgraded to the latest iOS and Yosemite.
Libraries:
1) Multiple iTunes Libraries locally stored on Macs and IPhones with lossless CD music and iTunes purchased music. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared iTunes library across ALL devices that contains our Lossless music and purchased music. so that it can be played across ALL devices. With the ability to have private music for each individual (Not shared).
b) Purchase new music and add it to the family share or purchase music and make it private (Not shared).
2) Multiple iPhoto Libraries macs (With photo stream from iPhones) and ONE Aperture Library on my mac. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared photo library that every one can deposit to and view.
b) Store individual iPhoto libraries on iCloud Drive(s)? So that everyone can have their own library and edit it across THEIR devices.
c) Store and use my Aperture Library on iCloud Drive?
Other documents:
iWork files, PDFs etc. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared area (on iCloud Drive i suppose) where we can share documents.
b) Sync private documents across ALL individuals devices (Available locally and on iCloud).
c) Store private documents (One instance) on iCloud drive and make them available on ALL individuals devices.
d) Backup of local documents?
Apps:
iOS apps:
a) Share purchased apps?
b) Not share private apps.
Storage:
What do I purchase to accomplish the above:
a) iCloud storage for everyone?
b) iTunes Match for everyone?
c) All of the above?
Conclusion:
It would be great for Apple to explain all this with all the options in one concise document instead of hunting down individual documents and sections all over the place.
Thank you for your help.

Hey there!
You and I are data soulmates. I have been having this trouble for a while and have yet to get my head around it. Our problem is that we've cycled through multiple macs and the "home" or "host" for all the stuff that's now been moved or moving to the Cloud is very scattered. It drives me crazy... almost to the point where I'm thinking about starting a brand-new iCloud account and beginning from scratch.
If you have any experiences or recommendations you could share about your strategy, I would love to hear it.

How do I access files that I put in iCloud Drive on my iMac and MacBook Pro, and then access them with ANY iOS device?

For example, I put some .pdf documents into iCloud Drive. Now I need those files but I'm not home any more----I have an iPhone and iPad at my disposal. They are ALL signed into the same iCloud account and they are all on the same WiFi network. Those .pdf documents that I so easily dropped into iCloud Drive earlier appear to be non-existant on my iOS devices. I do see my "Pages" memos here in iCloud, but the other things I have put in, I can't find. The ONLY way so far that I have been able to locate them is to go back to my iMac or MBP and use a Finder window and i have direct access to iCloud Drive there. Are they purposely not allowing us to pick up all files on all devices? Or am I missing something? Thanks.

First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

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.
