Is there an actual icloud drive icon on ios 8 like Google Drive or Dropbox?

Hello,
I would appreciate any help that the community can provide.
I have successfully updated ios 8 onto both my ipad mini and my iphone 5s.
I was expecting to see some sort of icon on my screen, similar to Google Drive and Dropbox, but there is nothing like that.
I understand that apps will have this baked into them, however, when looking at the Apple site and the previews, etc., it clearly shows some kind of specific folder on a mobile device where everything is stored. Again, there is nothing like this available on my mobile devices.
Separate from the apps and documents that are supposed to seamlessly update, I'm most concerned with my photos and videos that are suppossed to be saved in icloud drive. I thought the whole idea was to be able to upload photos and videos from mobile devices so that they could be deleted from them and free up space and then, if and when I wanted to download them again, then I could do so. At least this is what I believe to be the case. Perhaps I'm missing something?
I don't have a Mac, so there are no issues with Yosemite, etc. Again, based on the actual Apple demos and all the talk, I'm looking for some kind of icloud icon or something similar on my mobile device so I can see what is going on with it and so that I can access it.
I would appreciate any suggestions to help. Thank you.

I wish I knew more to help you, but I didn't enable icloud drive, cause I know there is no way back and no benefit that I can see for me. Everything is not supported yet. The page that you seem to be seeing as a folder on ipad and iphone looks more like "settings" for icloud on ipad and phone. Apps that are capable to use it are there and you already know that they use to sync with icloud anyway. Benefit is going to be when you can drag your work documents of different kind from your desktop on new mac OS. You may still be able to use your PC for that, but that is the only device where desirable icloud dragging can be done from desktop to drive. That is the way Apple presented drive and that is about all it does, as far as I know. Hopefully someone who knows more will chime in and help you better.
Here is what apple says that makes me think it is not icon.
Or start a new document using an iCloud-enabled app on your iOS device. Then you’ll be able to access those documents from all your devices.

Is there a way that I can add tracking code (like google analytics) to a Single Edition app?

Is there a way that I can add tracking code (like google analytics) to a DPS Single Edition app? If not, does the apple app store offer any analytics for a DPS Single Edition app after it is published there?

Iphone 5 how do i delete a photo or multiply photos? there is no trash can icon in ios 7

Where is the trash can to delete photos in ios 7 iphone? Also if you rotate a photo you can only save it to the camera roll why? in ios 6 if you rotated a photo it just saved your edited photo for you as the same photo.

First go into the moment page for photos (photos at bottom left->collections->moments), FROM THERE ONLY either click on photo and select trash can from bottom right OR hit select on moment page (top right) and select and delete multiple photos at once. ( note, clicking on each moment ex: washington trip, will not enable deleting.
Good Luck!

ICloud drive icon missing from iPad

My iCloud drive icon is missing from my iPad. I can't find a download for it in the App Sotre. Does anyone have any advice for restoring?

There is no iCloud Drive Icon on the iPhone or iPad. You access iCloud files through the Apps that support them on iCloud, I.e. , Pages, Numbers, etc.

How do i find my files on iPhone which i stored in iCloud drive on Mac ?

Hello. I have a Macbook pro and iphone. I stored some of my files on iCloud drive on mac and when i was looking for that files on my iPhones, i couldn't find it. Is there anyway we can find those files on iPhones or i was just thinking wrong.
Plus i want to know more about iCloud drive. How do i use iCloud drive and what is the different between iCloud drive and Dropbox ? Thank you.

like some documents. just curious to know where else to find when i don't have my mac with me.

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.

Read pdf files stored in icloud drive from ios8

Ok. So how do I Access and read my PDF files stored in icloud drive from my ipad?
I´ve read that there´s no icloud drive App like dropbox and that it has to be done from a third party App. (strange enough), but I can´t seem to find a third party App that connects to icloud drive yet.
Thanks.

The Apple website specifically states "Because with iCloud Drive, you can safely store all your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images and any other kind of document in iCloud and access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC.".
Now, howe do I "store my PDF" and "access them from my iPhone"?

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.

ICloud Drive makes internet unusable.

Whenever I have iCloud Drive enabled a process called 'nsurlsessiond' just starts downloading furiously. This screenshot is a 10 minute period and as you can see it downloaded 828.6MB in that small time frame. It almost makes my Internet unusable.

I have seen other threads regarding this issue but is there a fix?

I ran some tests comparing iCloud Drive to Dropbox to see how fast each uploaded a file and to see how it effected my internet. This is what I found:
I closed all apps to have a minimal effect on the network. I uploaded the file to each service separately. The file was the same 211.3 MB file.
iCloud Drive: 2 minutes 32 seconds
ping statistics ---
154 packets transmitted, 148 packets received, 3.9% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 34.619/7593.152/20905.769/6540.356 ms
Dropbox: 2 minutes 51 seconds
ping statistics ---
181 packets transmitted, 180 packets received, 0.6% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 35.381/212.434/3718.613/412.643 ms
So, iCloud drive was faster, however if you look at the ping statistics, the network is much worse off when iCloud drive is uploading a file. Much more packet loss and significantly worse response times.

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.

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.

Icloud drive icon

Hello,
upgraded to IOS 8 on all my devices yesterday, waited for iCloud Drive to become available on one of my PC's. It's now setup and running on a Windows laptop... (Interesting that it becomes available on Windows before Mac...)
I can see the folder in File Explorer, in iCloud on the web, but no way to access it on any of my IOS devices???
Should there not be an icon available? I'm already paying for additional storage, but I can travel with my iPad because I don't hhave access to my files???
Is it just just me or did I not set something properly?

Hello danyelfromgranby,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please see the following information to learn how to access content in iCloud Drive.
How do I access all my files in iCloud Drive?
You can access your files in iCloud Drive any of these ways:
Using any supported web browser, you can go to iCloud Drive at iCloud.com.
On your Mac with OS X Yosemite, you can go to iCloud Drive in Finder.
On your PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud for Windows 4.0, you can go to iCloud Drive in File Explorer.
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 8, you can use Apple apps like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, or any apps that support iCloud Drive.

ICloud Drive Software iCons will not delete

I have installed some software that uses iCloud drive then deleted. The icons for the software is still showing on iCloud drive even though the software has been deleted from all of the devices. When I try to reset documents on iCloud it comes up with an error. I have contacted support and not had very good response. It is becoming very frustrating.

Thanks that solved the issue with the trash.
As for the other issue. I have an Iomega eGo portable external hard drive that I use both as a place to have my itunes library as well as the source for Time Machine to do backups of the HD. Recently the hard drive stated that there was not enough room to complete a backup even though I still have over 100GB left available on my portable drive. Either way I was wondering how I go about deleting older back ups, and which ones would be suggested that I remove or does it really make a difference?
I have a lot of back ups since I bought the drive in January so I know that erasing a bunch of them will free up alot of space that I could use for newer backups and also for storing other things such as music and videos.
I would really appreciate any assistance with how I would go about deleting backups from my external drive & time machine without messing everything up and losing important thngs.
Thank you!

I do not see the iCloud Drive icon when I try to activate it on my iPad through iCloud. iOS 8.1

I want to activate iCloud Drive on my iPad. So, as mentioned in Apple Support Document I went gone to Settings >iCloud> and signed in to my Apple Id. However, I do not see the iCloud icon there to activate it. The same problem with my iPhone.
(I had opted not to activate iCloud Drive when I first installed iOS8).
I have iPad 3 and iPhone 5 with the latest version of iOS 8 installed on both. My iMac (OS X Yosemite) has iCloud Drive activated and it works fine.
Could anyone help me please?
Regards,
Kaustuv

I think the feature has been disabled by the Enterprise Software installed on the devices (I use both devices for my work). I will reconfirm it though.

ICloud drive icons: What do they mean?

Does anyone know what it means when a file in the icloud drive folder in the finder has a cloud next to it?
I see this icon regularly as well as what looks like a progress bar icon. I assume this latter icon indicates the uploading of the file or the changes made to it. That's obvoius.
But it's not obvious (to me anyway) what the cloud icon means and I haven't been able to find out anywhere.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot, and sorry, I guess that is rather obvious, now that you point out the same symbol occurs in iTunes and I did know what it means there.
What's confusing me is the very fact that there is a "in the iCloud only" icon at all. I don't want my files only in the cloud in the way that I want my music and videos only in the cloud. The latter are massive. But my docs are tiny.
When I make a change to a local file in the iCloud drive folder on one computer, I expect not only the file in the cloud to reflect the changers but I also expect those changes to occur in the local file in the iCloud drive folder on my other computer (and the original one that the changes were made on). I.e., I'm wondering why the file isn't just automatically downloaded (synced?) locally on my iCloud drive folders on my two computers, or automatically synced across all devices. This is the way google drive and dropbox work. They keep all my local files on all my computers in sync perfectly and very quickly. This does not seem to occur necessarily with iCloud drive. In fact, I'm having problems getting files to sync (if that's the right word) at all across all my devices. I never have this problem with google drive or dropbox. So I find the whole iCloud business mysterious and rather sub-standard. So far, it's no great improvement on the old Mobile Me. Apple just seems incapable of handling online storage.
