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.

  • 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 Apps Freeze

    Since I have installed iOS 8 on my iPhone and activated iCloud drive, apps that use iCloud freeze immediately upon opening the app.  This includes Pages, Numbers, and other Apple apps and 3rd party apps such as Notability and Scanner Pro. Since all of these apps used iCloud drive, I'm assuming that this is the issue.

    Bump.  I see this using Scannable.  Same crash in Scanner Pro and Documents.  Even if only one is running, it still happens.  Reboot, kill apps, nothing helps.

  • HT1766 On an iPhone 5, Is there an easy way to move app icons as a group? instead of one by one?

    On an iPhone 5, Is there an easy way to move app icons as a group? instead of one by one?

    If you have a bunch of apps on one screen yunwantnto move to another as a group, create a folder by holding your finger on ne app until all the icons start shaking and show and "x" in the top left corner of the icon. Press again and don't lift your finger; move that icon with your finger over one of the other icons you want to add to the folder, which will create a folder. Then you can move the other apps you want to move into that folder. When you have all the apps you want to move into that folder, close the folder by tapping on the screen outside the folder. The icons should still be shaking. Then press on the folder you want to move and slide it to the edge of the screen, left or right, until the folder moves to the next screen. Once you get it to the screen of choice, you can leave the apps in that folder or move them out by the same process. When you are done moving things around, press the Home button and the icons will stop shaking. Now they will stay put.
    Alternatively,my can sync your device with iTunes and move the icons around in the Apps windows in iTunes, then re-sync your device after you're finished. That will rearrange your icons on the device.
    Good luck!

    Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • HT203210 Where is the show popup from network on System Preferences?

    Where is the show popup from network on System Preferences?
    Was checking Airport support for PPPoE disconnected message which directd me to Show Popup on network in System preferences and I had 1 option.  Show all.
    Would love additional info on why I keep getting this message - Could not find a PPPoE server.  Which interrupts wifi service to Network.

    PPPoE is a protocol used to authenticate a user prior to gaining Internet access used by certain ISPs. Typically it is used for DSL Internet service. PPPoE would be configured on the device that is directly connected to the DSL modem. This could be a router or computer.
    Do you currently have or previously had DSL Internet service? What is the make & model of the device that you currently have the AirPort Extreme base station connected to by Ethernet? Which exact model of the Extreme do you have?

  • Where's the "show all" option in Spotlight?

    Where's the "show all" option in Spotlight? Currently I only see a list of the first few things Spotlight has found. Where's the option to show all of them in the Finder? I can't find it.

    Hello there, Tom in London.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regard to the Spotlight preferences in Yosemite:
    OS X Yosemite: Spotlight preferences
    Search Results pane
    Choose which categories appear in Spotlight search results: Select the categories you want to include, deselect those you don’t.
    By default, Spotlight results include Spotlight Suggestions, Bing Web Searches, conversions, documents, folders, music, and more.
    If you don’t want your Spotlight search queries and Spotlight Suggestions usage data sent to Apple, you can turn off Spotlight Suggestions by deselecting the Spotlight Suggestions and Bing Web Searches checkboxes. You can also turn off Location Services for Spotlight Suggestions in Security & Privacy preferences. If you turn off Location Services on your Mac, your precise location will not be sent to Apple. For detailed instructions and information, see About Spotlight Suggestions.
    Change the order of results: Drag the categories until they’re in the order you want.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    How do I re-estate an app icon that has disappeared from the very last page of my icons because I in effect, pushed it away?

    Thanks for your help
    You are correct, in settings I can gain access to my apparent.
    What I went on to do was "reset" my app screen in settings and all my apps came back on the home pages.
    I understand that we only have twelve home pages but you can make files that contain many files on the home page by superimposing file icons while in file moving mode.
    Thanks so much for your help

  • ICloud Drive App

    Hello
    After installung iOS 8.1 i'm still missing an App for my iCloud like DropBox or how do you save received PDF Attachments by E-Mail in your iCloud?
    In the other way how do I insert an Attachment from my iCloud in to a new E-Mail? Photos or Videos are no Problem but I'm missing the functionality to Access my iCloud directly from my E-Mail to insert files in an E-Mail.
    Best regards
    - André

    Yes it´s strange that you should dig deep into other apps to reach for files i iCloud drive! I want an separate app like Dropbox and Googledrive...
    I pay for 200GB and was going from Dropbox to iCloud so I hope they are coming with an app soon!

  • 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!

  • 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.
