Q: Can't see iCloud as a "directory" to save my files

Hi all!

 

Despite the fact that "Documents & Data" are enabled on my iCloud preferences on my Mac, I can't see iCloud as a "directory" to save my iWork files.

 

Forums that I've been all show users being able to see it after enabling "Docs & Data", but I can't.

 

Any clues?

 

Thanks!

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

     

    You can only save documents to iCloud from iWork if you are using OS X Mountain Lion, so you won't be able to choose iCloud as a directory unless you upgrade to Mountain Lion.

     

    If you don't want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, there's another way to put documents on iCloud. Open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID, choose "iWork" and drag your Pages documents onto the browser window, so they will be uploaded to iCloud. Then, if you want to upload Numbers or Keynote documents, just select them at the top of the page, and drag documents to your browser window

    Thanks! However, I'm running Lion already. I'm running 10.5.2!

    I think you have posted a wrong Mac OS X version. Go to  > About this Mac, and tell me what OS X version you have. These are the Mac OS X versions and their names:

     

    - 10.0.x > Mac OS X Cheetah

    - 10.1.x > Mac OS X Puma

    - 10.2.x > Mac OS X Jaguar

    - 10.3.x > Mac OS X Panther

    - 10.4.x > Mac OS X Tiger

    - 10.5.x > Mac OS X Leopard

    - 10.6.x > Mac OS X Snow Leopard

    - 10.7.x > OS X Lion

    - 10.8.x > OS X Mountain Lion

     

    OS X Lion and Mountain Lion are different Mac OS X versions

    Ops!! My bad! I thought the "10" meant "Lion". I'll update and check it!

    I'm having the same issue and I am running OS X El Capitan version 10.11.1

     

    The issue is: I go to save a document in save as and the directory for iCloud does not show. Also the folders I have in my sidebar do not show. This seems to be happening sporadically. Help!
