iCloud Drive

About iCloud Drive

iCloud Drive stores your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and other kinds of documents
in iCloud so you can access these documents from any of your devices set up with iCloud.
It allows your apps to share documents so you can work on the same file across multiple apps.

iCloud Drive works with devices using iOS 8, Mac computers using OS X Yosemite, PCs with
iCloud for Windows 4.0, or through iCloud.com. To access iCloud Drive, you must be signed into
iCloud using your Apple ID. iCloud Drive works with supported apps including Pages, Numbers,
Keynote, GarageBand, and some third-party apps.

Set up iCloud Drive

You can set up iCloud Drive using Setup Assistant when you install iOS 8, or you can set it up
later in Settings. iCloud Drive is an upgrade to Documents & Data. When you upgrade to iCloud
Drive, your documents are copied to iCloud Drive and become available on your devices using
iCloud Drive. You won’t be able to access the documents stored in iCloud Drive on your other
devices until they are also upgraded to iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite. For more information about
upgrading to iCloud Drive, see

support.apple.com/kb/HT6345

.

Set up iCloud Drive. Go to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive, turn on iCloud Drive, then follow the
onscreen instructions.

Transfer files

There are several ways to transfer files between iPad and your computer or other iOS device.
Transfer files using iTunes. Connect iPad to your computer using the included cable. In iTunes on
your computer, select iPad, then click Apps. Use the File Sharing section to transfer documents
between iPad and your computer. Apps that support file sharing appear in the Apps list. To
delete a file, select it in the Documents list, then press the Delete key.

You can also view files received as email attachments on iPad.

With some apps, you can transfer files using AirDrop. See
