Is Lightroom compatible with iCloud drive?

I am trying to use iCloud drive to store my Lightroom catalog. I want to access it from my iMac and my Macbook Pro, using smart previews. I have read about people doing this with dropbox, but iCloud drive is cheaper for 200gb a month. I exported a new catalog of my images to the iCloud drive folder on one computer. When I open the iCloud drive on the other computer the files are there with the download symbol next to them. Does this mean I have to download to my computer to use with Lightroom? And if so, what do I need to do to sync my changes?
Thanks for any help you may have.

For the record do not try and use iCloud drive with lightroom. Every time you tweak a file you need to repload entire catalog.

    No iDisk-like functionality exists in iCloud. You'll have to look elsewhere, such as Dropbox or SugarSync.

  • My iPad Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps Stopped Syncing with iCloud Drive

    My iPad Air (iOS 8.0.2) is synced with my iCloud Drive, and all of its apps (Notes, Contacts, Calendar, etc.) sync perfectly with iCloud Drive... except for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    When I open Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2), my Mac (Yosemite beta), or my iCloud.com page, all files are there and all apps sync perfectly with one another. It's just Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on my iPad that refuses to sync. When I open my iPhone Pages app, I even see the text "Updating" at the top of the screen. But not on my iPad version.
    I even factory restored my iPad and started all over again. And for a moment, the Pages app got something. A few docs and one folder appeared. But then it stopped again. And I haven't been able to repeat the process.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello lippyloggy,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud Drive:
    Using iWork with iCloud Drive
    Options for iWork customers
    1. Upgrade to iCloud Drive later this year when OS X Yosemite is available.
    Choose this option if you’d like your documents to keep up to date with your apps on OS X Mavericks or earlier. Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature.    
    If you don’t upgrade to iCloud Drive at this time:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8 and across devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You won’t be able to use the Share via iCloud feature.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud won’t be accessible to collaborators until you upgrade to iCloud Drive.
    2. Upgrade to iCloud Drive today.
    Choose this option if you’d like to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature. To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows 4.0and set up iCloud Drive.If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0, and iCloud.com. (OS X Yosemite will be available this fall.)
    Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature on iOS 8 and iCloud.com. You’ll be able to use it on OS X Yosemite later this year.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My IMAC won´t sync with iCloud drive

    When I Updated my IMAC with OSXYosemite and my IPAD with the latest version of IOS, everything was perfecto, but 2 days later everything changed.
    My IMAC won´t sync my iwork documents (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) with iCloud Drive.
    Please help, I really need to fix this because its making my job really slowly.

    Go through the troubleshooting steps in this article listed under "Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)": iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.  In particular make sure the iCloud Outlook add-in is active within Outlook.

  • HT4597 Only one of my devices is compatible with iCloud.  If I update that device (my iMac) will I still be able to get just emails on my old iPhone classic (as I can now)?

    Only one of my devices is compatible with iCloud.  If I update that device (my iMac which is OS 10.7.4) will I still be able to get just emails on my old iPhone classic?  At the moment I have just updated to icloud 'emails only'!

    Oh, ok.  When I moved over I clicked the 'not all my devices are compatible' button and was told that I would continue to get my emails only.  Perhaps I'l now be brave and click the “Complete Your Move to iCloud” alert - and see what happens.  Many thanks for your help

  • IWork not syncing with iCloud Drive on iPad or iPhone with new iOS 8.

    I Downloaded on Wednesday (Sept. 17) the new iOS 8 on both my iPhone and iPad. My iWork apps synced fine for two days, but today all my documents disappeared and the iWork apps won't sync with the iCloud Drive. what can I do to get everything syncing with the new iCloud Drive? The photo stream and other programs are syncing fine, just not iWork. Any help to resolve this would be great. Thank you.

    stpauli, it sounds like it's you and me in this together. Have you had any luck? I've had a little. I've been working on this for about a month now. Here's what I did:
    I deleted all of my documents from my iPad, iTouch, and iCloud. (I tried it without deleting, but it didn't work.)
    I completely turned off iCloud on ALL of my devices, even my Mac.
    I deleted all files in iTunes for the iWork suite. (Again, I didn't this this would matter, but it didn't work of they were still there.)
    I restored both my iPad and iTouch using their most recent back ups.
    I switched on iCloud on ALL of my devices again.
    When I opened the programs, things seemed to be working again. It worked well for two days, but now it's being funny again
    iCloud will not push out to my iPad. If I create or edit on my iPad, it will push up to iCloud just fine, but if I upload a document to iCloud from my Mac, it never shows on my iPad. In fact, I edited a document that was in iCloud using my Mac, and uploaded the file back to iCloud. The updates never showed on my iPad, and when I closed the document, two versions of the same file appeared in iCloud. The one that was uploaded from my Mac is unusable.
    This is definitely an iCloud issue. Unfortunately, the nearest Apple store is a four hour plane ride away, and my devices are out of waranty so they want to charge me for help. I hope you're having better luck.

  • IWork on iPad not syncing with iCloud Drive

    iWork on my iPad – as well as iLife, I think – are refusing to sync to the iCloud Drive. I have tried logging in and out of my iCloud account. I have also ensured that "iCloud" is enabled on each app's individual settings (though the switch occasionally turns itself off). Can someone please assist me with this issue?
    Thanks!

    Just checked again on laptop and nothing is synching on there either now. Since iOS 6.0.1 it looks like.

    I wish that I could offer some help, but I'm about to post a topic with a similar problem.  I posted it on the iCloud discussion board a few days ago.  Since then I've upgraded to Yosemite, so I can get iCloud Drive on this machine and hopefully be in sync with what's on my iPhone & iPad in Pages.  But alas, the problem remains.  The files are not up to date on the desktop running Yosemite and just the same as they were when they were on Mavericks. 
    My other topic is posted here:Trouble logging into iCloud.com on Mac running Mavericks
    One thing you might do, although I'm not sure is log out and back into iCloud (System Prefs) and see if that updates things.  You could delete files off of iCloud Drive, but I am NOT going to do that nor am I recommending it.  Just trying to think of solutions.  Stay tuned for a similar topic in the Pages board here. 
    Thanks and keep us posted!

  • Is the ipod classic compatible with icloud

    Is the Ipod Classic compatible with ICLOUD

    No, the iPod classic has no means of connecting to Wi-Fi, thus making it incompatible with iCloud.

  • Is Pages 4.3 compatible with iCloud?

    I have Pages 4.3 on my Macbook Pro with Yosimtee OS. When I try to open an existing iCloud document, it tells me I need a newer version of Pages. But, I can see all my iCloud documents in the Pages document viewer. The app store tells me my software is all up-to-date.
    Am I missing something?

    Pages '09 v4.3 can read and write documents in Yosemite's version of iCloud after you enable iCloud Drive. Pages '09 v4.3 cannot open any documents written by Pages v5 (including v5.5 or later). It sounds like you are attempting to access a v5 document with Pages '09 v4.3, and receive the alert panel that the index.xml file is missing, please download the latest Pages from the App Store message.

  • Numbers not syncing with iCloud drive

    I installed Numbers on a brand new ipad and activated icloud drive on the new device, but when I open Numbers there's no spreadsheet and there's no syncing. The documents are in the cloud, they just don't sync with the ipad. Same thing with Pages. I was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance to resolve this.

    Pages and Numbers are syncing fine on my iPhone 5S. However, on my iPad 2, Pages will update on iCloud Drive, but Numbers will not. I've tried signing in and out of iCloud, turning the iPad off and on, closing and opening Numbers, etc., and nothing has worked. The settings for Numbers and Pages look identical, so I don 't understand why one application on the device works, and not the other. Very frustrating.
