Settings iCloud Manage Storage fileincloud

I go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage. It lists several apps under Documents & Data (Goodreader, Numbers, and so on) and the Documents & Data stored in iCloud for each app. However, it shows an app named "fileincloud) using 7KB but does not list anything used by it.
What is fileincloud and how can it be used?
Thanks.
Mike

I have installed Mountain Lion and the folder is still there. Should I delete it?

Settings/icloud/manage storage

under the above on an iphone 4s I just activated, I see 5 backups from previous iphones I've replaced, dating to 10/2013, these backups appeared to be lost in may when I had to replace a phone. none of my pictures from the past had reloaded to the newly activated one. at that time, none of the previous phones backups showed. now, there they are. I am hoping I can access these, and bring them all into the current phone. how would I do that?

You can only restore a device from one back up. there is not way to combine them. And it will only restore those items that were set to back up or included depending on the back up type (iCloud vs. iTunes).

ICloud Mail size (through iCloud Manage Storage tab)

So I have 43 messages in my inbox. There is one excel spreadsheet attachment that is 14kb. No photos, nothing. I have deleted EVERYTHING from every possible mail folder that exists in icloud mail. I have gone on the website to confirm deletions, I have double checked the Mail app on my iMac(Yosemite). I then go on to my iPhone 6(which only has icloud as the sole mail acct), into the icloud settings tab, manage storage, and the "mail" says it is taking up 125 mb of space on icloud. How is this possible? It specifically says it is just mail, no backup, nothing else, just emails that take up 125 mb. I find this hard to believe. There is no way to manage this either like you could with other apps.
Can anyone help me solve this incongruency? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

It might be caused by storage "buffering". If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

Icloud manage storage link not working on my iphone 4s

I need to manage my icloud storage, but the manage storage link on my iphone is not working. When I click on it, nothing happens. Can anyone help with this problem? I don't want to buy more storage if I can turn off some of my apps in icloud. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks!

Had the same problem recently (on an iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1). The phone couldn't back up to iCloud as the storage limit had been exceeded, and tapping "Manage Storage" in the iCloud settings didn't work: it just briefly showed a spinning wheel but I couldn't enter the Manage Storage screen. Looks like a bug.
In the end I was able to solve it via the iCloud settings on a laptop. Using this route, I removed the backup that was clogging the available 5GB free storage and was able to access Manage Storage again to tweak the settings. In my case this meant disabling iCloud backups of photos in the camera roll, which was the reason for the large size of the backup file in the first place.
Here's what I did:
1. Important step: first of all, make a backup of your phone in iTunes by connecting it to the computer and chosing the backup option in iTunes. You will delete the iCloud backup in step 3, so it's best to have another backup handy. It's not very likely your phone will crash in the short time it takes to complete these steps, but better safe than sorry.
2. After making the full phone backup, I downloaded all the photos from the camera roll onto my computer and deleted them from the phone. There are different ways of doing this, on a Mac you can for instance use Image Capture. This step is not really necessary to get the backups working again as you will probably disable camera roll backups in step 3 anyway, but it's good to get into the habit of backing up photos on the computer regularly, rather than in iCloud. If you want to keep some photos on the phone as well, you can always copy them back from the computer onto the phone.
3. Access iCloud storage management via the computer rather than the iPhone. Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847 > Backup > Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your device > Mac OS X (or Windows 8, Windows 7 and Vista). If you use a Windows computer and the iCloud control panel hasn't been installed yet, you can find it here http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.
I don't think you can delete specific elements like the camera roll from the backup this way, you have to delete the whole thing. But you made another backup in step 1 so this isn't really a problem.
4. On the iPhone, try to access Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage again - it should work now. In the next screen, choose your iPhone and you will get the Backup Options where you can switch backups on and off for different apps. It shows you how much storage each app takes, you will probably see that the Camera Roll is the largest so you may want to switch that off. Once you're happy with the settings, go back two screens to Storage & Backup and switch Icloud Backup back on (it was automatically switched off in step 3), and if you are on Wi-Fi, tap Back Up Now so it makes a new iCloud backup right away.
That's all, hope it solves your problem.

Trying to download tv series bought iCloud storage still saying go to settings and manage storage! Help, Trying to download tv series bought iCloud storage still saying go to settings and manage storage! Help

Please help ! I have bought a tv series from I tunes and some have downloaded and it will not finish so I bought I cloud and its still saying manage your storage in settings don't need to plug my i pad in ? I barley use this !! Help !!!!!!

Since you have never synced with iTunes before, you need to make the iTunes library your syncing library first. Read this very informative user tip for the instructions on how to do that.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
After you have transferred all of your purchased content into iTunes, you can safely delete anything that you want to delete on the iPad itself in order to make room for your TV Shows.

HT4847 Is there any way to restore all my apps from Setting iCloud Manage Storage ?

i locked my ipod then i restart my ipod all over again, so i was wondering if i could restore all my apps that way?
if so, could anyone tell me how??
by the way its an ipod 5~

No.
If you backed up your device to iCloud before restoring it, you can restore it from the backup when setting it up.
Otherwise you can just re-download all your apps from iCloud in the Purchased tab of the AppStore.

Unable to access 'manage storage'

Hi
When pressing settings -> icloud -> manage storage, the device "thinks" but nothing happens.
I'm unable to backup my iphone
Please help

Hello tomerhadary,
It sounds like you are tapping Manage Storage, but the device does not go to the next screen. I recommend starting by closing the Settings app:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Iphone 4 won't take pictures, says manage storage

My camera won't work sometimes on my iphone 4. It says go to settings and manage storage, can't take any more pictures and I only have about 900 pictures. Now on my iphone 3g, I never had this problem and I had 3000 pictures on it. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes I am experiencing the same problem! Frustrating because I also had about 4000 photos on my 3g IPhone and my current phone IPhone 4 says the same thing I have about 1000 pictures and it gives me the same message can not take picture "go to settings and manage storage" I found myself deleting most of my apps just to take more picture but even that only temporarly works. Please get back to me if you resolved this problem. ***** huh.

HT4847 In preparing for iCloud storage to be reduced to 5GB, I have deleted all my emails (via internet to iCloud) including all inboxes, sent mail, archived etc. HOWEVER my iPhone (under Settings iCloud Storage and Backup Manage Storage says I have 8.5 G

The only thing I can think of that may cause this would be storage buffering. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

HT4910 I have 2 lines and on 1 of the main phone I went to settings then storage & backup automatically it showed how much space i have which was not allot and it also showed the other line storage space. I click on manage storage and it used to show both

I was told that I have 14.9 gb of space on my phone when my total is 15gb. I was adviced to free storage and to click on settings and manage my storage by either purchase more or turning off or deleting some of the back ups. When I went in to settings then to icloud it usually would of showed me both phone storage memory and when I started going down my list and turning off some of the apps from back ups of certain app all of a sudden I couldnt no longer see my phone storage memory or my account name for that matter. Now I only see the other line username and storage space that the other phone has.
What can I do? I used to see the list of all the apps I have on icloud and now its empty and it tells me I have available 13.4 gb available.
Please advice. Thank you
Patricia

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

Don't see photos from icloud. Replaced broken 4s w/new phone. Help! How do I get photos back? They don't show up on icloud online but phone says broken phone was backed up yesterday under manage storage. How do I use this backup?

Please help. Replaced broken phone w/new 4s. I did as the genius bar guy said and did reset>erase all content and settings at home because he said it would take too long in the store. Last time I had to replace my phone, all the photos and video were there. Now they're not. I had set up icloud but when i typed in "my restore from icloud", nothing came up. I NEED those pictures and videos. They're the last photos and videos I have of my mother who passed away recently. Please I need them back. I feel like I've lost her all over again. Please someone help. I went to icloud>storage & backup>manage storage and i see that those pictures were backed up yesterday yet I don't see any pictures or picture icon in icloud.com. Please someone help me get those pictures back. They're priceless and they're the last I have left of my mother.

If this is your first sync and there is already data on the phone, perform the steps listed below. This will transfer your apps and other media purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library, perform a manual backup and restore, then sync the iTunes media back to the phone from your iTunes library. This will not transfer media from other sources such as music from your ripped CDs. As you said you never synced before, I assume all of your apps, music and other media was purchased from the iTuens and App stores. If this is correct, you won't lose anything.
Download and install iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/.
Launch iTunes, go to the View menu and click to check Show Sidebar.
Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices if using Windows) and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Go to Store>Authorize This Computer and authorize all Apple IDs used to purchase apps and other iTunes media (music, podcasts, movies, tv shows, etc.) on your phone.
On her phone, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn iCloud Backup to Off.
Connect her phone to your computer and in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your purchased media to your iTunes library.
Right-click on the name of the phone on the left side of iTunes and click "Reset Warnings".
Right-click on the name of the phone again and click "Back Up" to back up the phone.
Right-click again and choose "Restore from Backup...", select the backup you just made to restore from and restore the backup to your phone. If prompted to back up again, decline.
Go to the Info tab and make sure nothing is checked so you aren't syncing calendars, contacts, etc. with iTunes.
Go to the Summary tab and select This Computer under Automatically Back Up.
Check the other tabs to confirm that your sync settings are the way you want them.
Click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

Hi karlos16,
For the error message you are seeing, I found this article:
iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992
"This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available."
This message is displayed when there is not enough storage space available in your iCloud Storage to complete your backup. You can either reduce the amount of data you are backing up under Backup Options, or you can buy more storage.
For the issue with the iPhone appearing to be unresponsive, I recommend this article for troubleshooting:

Cheers!
