ICloud drive storage for education use

Is Apple going to have education pricing for iCloud Drive?
Microsoft provides 1 TB Onedrive space for University students for 4 years less than 100EUR

Your iCloud Drive folder is a hidden folder in your user library in your Home folder. The only way I am seeing to move this folder to an external drive would be to relocate your Home folder with all your documents and data in "Users > your home folder" completely to an external drive. Having your home folder on an external drive is supported in MacOS X, but you would be forced to have the external drive always mounted, before you login to your Mac.

My wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the photo

my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system. We are running yosemite OS X 10.10 and iOS 8.0.2... Is there any way to do this?

Can you share iCloud drive storage with family members?

Seems like this would be a common question but Apple Support search came up empty. So, can you share iCloud drive storage with family members?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can share they space if they all use the same Apple ID, but that's not really a good idea, because you'll then share contacts, calendars, photos etc etc.

Is there an iCloud Drive app for the iPhone?

Is there an iCloud Drive app for the iPhone? I have a 5c that's running 8.0.2.
I was able to install iCloud Drive on my pc. I placed some files out there and would like to view them on my iPhone but I can't seem to find the iCloud Drive app in the app store.
There appears to be an iCloud Drive app according to the pictures here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/icloud-drive/.
Is the app not available yet?

I've had an android phone since they first came out. Verizon took forever to get the iphone and by the time they did, I was so used to having a phone with a big screen and was already on a 4g device and I didn't want to take a step back to 3g and a smaller screen so I never gave apple a try. I recently sold my android phone in preparation for the next android phone release and I broke my temporary phone trying to it's replace it's cracked glass (something that's much easier to do on an iphone btw) so I had to find another temp phone. With the release of the iphone 6/6+ and everyone going so crazy about it, I decided to borrow a friend's old 5c for a month to see what all the hype was about when it comes to iphones while I wait for my android phone to come in. So far I can honestly say aside from a few things here and there, I haven't really felt like there's much of a difference to warrant the flame wars that I see on android vs apple. Some things work better on iOS for sure but there are some things I'm used to doing on android that I can't do on iOS. I really like it's overall simplistic feeling. The people on the far left and far right in terms of apple over android or android over apple and their arguments are pretty comical to me now that I've had some exposure to both.
Anyway in terms of the iCloud drive, from everything I've read it looks like it'll be identical to Google Drive which I've been using for years but without an app, it's definitely confusing on how I get to my documents and photos that I've stored on my iCloud Drive. With android, before the app I could go to the desktop site for google drive and access my documents. When I try to go to icloud drive from safari on my phone, it automatically takes me to "set up icloud tutorial" even though it's already set up on my phone. I'm happy to find that I'm not the only one that's confused by apple's description of the implementation and what's actually implemented.
I still have a few weeks before I get my android, but I'd be lying if said I haven't considered cancelling my preorder of the note 4 and grabbing a 6+ to give an iphone more than a months trial. I mean in the end, people buy iphone's like candy so it's not like I'd be stuck if I end up ultimately not liking it.
Thanks for your responses, hopefully they implement it's full functionality while I still have time to decide one way or another.

I subscribed to 200 GB of Icloud drive storage space. How am I able to put my photos, documents etc. to my icloud storage?

I thought the new icloud drive would function simlarly to dropbox or google drive. How do import a photo taken from my iphone or ipad to my icloud drive storage space?

The "iCloud Photo Library" is still in beta right now and is not operational. it will probably be operational when the new Mac OS is released. When it is operational, both your iPad and iPhone will have the same "iCloud Photo Library".

Is the iCloud Drive storage space independent of the original iCloud? Do they share space? Can you use them both at the same time?

Does Apple provide 5GB storage with both iCloud and iCloud Drive for a total of 10GB? Or are they shared for a total of 5GB? I am running low on space in my original iCloud (4.7GB used), and would like to move my photos to iCloud drive and stop them from saving in original iCloud, but want to continue to use iCloud for all my other data backups/settings/etc. Thanks!

iCloud Drive is simply a newer version of iCloud (newer set of features) for handling available documents and allowing third party apps access.. Otherwise it is still part of the you overall iCloud service. Unless you choose to pay for additional storage, your total iCloud space is 5 GB.

External hard drive /storage for use with mini and XP (bootcamp)

Never purchased an external hard drive (storage) before so not sure if this is possible.
Basically I have an intel mini with 60gb hard drive, which I have now allocated 20 to xp via boot camp. I'm quickly using up the 20gb with a few games so I want to purchase an external storage device that will work with both osx and windows - is this possible?
My mini hasnt 'seen' a few USB devices, can anyone recommend one which is compatible with the intel mini?
would any external drive have to be partinioned as well?

I still do not know which format would be the best. That is so that I can use it easily between mac OSX and windows. Is FAT32 the only true option? How limited is it? I heard it is limited to 4GB file size for windows and 32 GB for Mac. Are there other sources I have not found with more concrete information on the limitations of this format?
I really do still need this information and I need to back up my drive before I can take the computer in for service.

Can I share icloud drive storage between family members?

I am looking for easy offsite storage that can be easily accessed. I have been reading a bit about the icloud drive, and it seems simple to add and open files. Can I share the storage with my husband and his computer or not? We currently use carbonite as a backup program. Would icloud drive replace that?
Thank you.
Katie

iCloud Drive is tied one AppleID. If you want to share it, all family members would have to use the same Apple ID.
The only Family Sharing Apple Supports for family members with different AppleIDs is sharing your purchases: iTunes items, iBooks, AppStore Purchases, see: http://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/
But iCloud Drive cannot be shared between different AppleIDs, and it is also not meant to be a cloud backup.It is used to store your current working copies of your most important documents, that you need on all devices, and keep the documents updated on all devices.
See this link: iCloud Drive FAQ

Can you do family sharing of icloud drive storage?

I'd like to use icloud drive. 20GB is barely enough, and the next step is 200GB which is way more than I need. I'd like to effectively share that 200GB with the rest of the family (4 of us). Is there a way I can partition the 200GB amongst the family members so each effectively sees their own icloud drive?

Hi Mick_M,
Thanks for the question. At this time, iCloud Storage upgrades are not shareable via iCloud Family Sharing. For more information on what purchases are eligible for Family Sharing, see this document:

ICloud Drive Upload Error/Space Used?

I attempted to upload a 3 GB .zip file to my iCloud Drive through iCloud.com. When it got to the end, it gave me an error saying that the upload failed. Despite that, I've lost 3 GB of my storage space, even though I can't find the file anywhere. I even deleted the folder that I was attempting to upload the file to, thinking it's some kind of temporary hidden file, but that didn't free up the space. Is there a way to get Apple to delete the temporary file or whatever it is that is taking up the 3 GB?

An Aperture vault cannot be stored in iCloud drive. If you put it on a synced volume it will be corrupted by syncing. Write your vault to a locally connected disk like described here for Aperture Libraries:
Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
A vault is essentially an Aperture library, so the same holds. I tested putting Aperture libraries, vaults, and iPhoto Libraries onto iCloud Drive. After the first sync they needed repairing.
. When I set up a Vault using the iCloud drive it says I have insufficient space. Clearly I don't!
How much free space is on your Mac? You can only write files to iCloud Drive that will fit on all devices that are connected to iCloud Drive. iCloud Drive is not like an external disk - it is a shared storage for syncing your Macs. Everything you are writing to iCloud Drive will be mirrored to your Macs. See: iCloud Drive FAQ

I purchased iCloud extra storage for music, received an email stating my 5 gig storage is nearly full. How can I get to the 25,000 song storage I purchased separately?

How can I connect my iCloud free 5 gig storage to the $25.00 additional storage I purchased from Apple for 25,000 songs? I received messages stating I have used nearly all of my free storage. Are they dfferent storages? I only have one apple id.

Are you sure you didn't buy iTunes Match and not additional storage? I ask because of the 25,000 songs is a specific detail. Try this link and see if it rings any bells (http://www.apple.com/ca/itunes/itunes-match/) I have Match and I love it but one thing it doesn't do is give you more general storage, just access to all your music. If you only wanted the storage for music you will be fine with Match, if you are still needing storage may want to go through your device settings and turn off some apps from your back up to gain more space (Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage). Failing that, you may want to contact Apple and let them know you wanted the Storage bump, not iTunes Match.
Hope this helps.

ICloud Drive storage space

Hello,
I just subscribe to 200GB iCloud program.
I have 199.13GB available (no large backup for now), as indicated from my iCloud account (see screenshot).
But my iCloud Drive on my Mac indicates that only about 70GB are available:
How is this done?
I found nothing about it in Apple Support.
Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad English (I'm French).
Arnaud

Thanks!
That's true... I uploaded 30Gb and space indicator has not been modified

HT4759 Why is the additional ICloud 10GB storage for my Ipad I purchased not working?

Why is the additional ICloud 10GB storage I purchased not downloading on my IPAD?

What do you mean by 'downloading'? - does it show in Settings>iCloud? It's additional space on the iCloud server, not additional memory on your iPad.
