Q: getting pics into icloud through Preview?
I want to get pictures into icloud so I open up Preview (I don't have iphoto) and click on the iCloud box in upper left. It says "you can drag files here from finder" but when I go to finder and click a file preview disappears into the dock. How do I get stuff in there? I drag files down to the dock and into previiew but they don't go into icloud, they just open in preview.
thanks
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Currently the only way to get photos into iCloud is either by an iOS backup, or via Photo Stream. Once the new Photo app is out, then you will be able to use iCloud drive to store your photos, but until then, there is no way to "put" photos into iCloud from a Mac unless you are using iPhoto and you create a Shared Photo Stream. You can also create a Shared Photo Stream from an iOS device.
Cheers,
