Q: Numbers is not Syncing with iCloud Drive

I am running iOS 8.0.2 on an iPhone 6 and iPad Air along with OS X 10 Yoesemite on the Public Beta ver 4.

 

Any Numbers Spreadsheet created on any of the 3 devices does not sync across all other devices.  I have tried a number of different fixes including uploading directly to iCloud Drive via Safari, creating a sheet in each of the 3 separately, creating a sheet on one then emailing to myself and saving to Numbers, and a few other attempts to get the sheets to sync.

iPhone 6, iOS 8

    I am experiencing an issue of one Numbers document failing to sync in iCloud.  I can see that it's trying, but it just doesn't make it.  I tried the suggested fix from a link, a couple of posts above me, but that did not work.  I created a new Numbers document from one of Apple's templates, and that would not upload.

     

    I am running a late '09 macbook pro, OS X 10.11, one iPhone 6 +, one iPad 2, all with iOS 9.0.2

     

    I realize that Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are still beta, but they've been beta forever.  Come on Apple, either fix this so it works, or ditch it.  I simply cannot rely on iCloud to keep my documents synced everywhere.  Nice idea, but not ready for prime time.  Back to Dropbox.

    Scoopy tried gatorpk1's "trick," which is to create a new document on a device.  It doesn't work for me, either.

     

    I've been battling Apple for three years on this.  I've reduced my iCloud Drive, Numbers folder to ONE Numbers document, 400K.  Whenever I edit it on one device, it takes HOURS for the other devices to update.  I am not making this up.  The whole thing is ridiculous.

     

    Yes, I've tried deleting all iCloud documents on ALL devices, rebuilding all of them, etc.  I've bought a brand new iPad.  I've reimaged devices.

     

    I could email it to myself faster.  I could walk it to a different room on a floppy disk and that would be faster.

     

    Nothing works.

    Had this problem too - did the 'trick' and created a new file on my iPhone, did not add any data, exited out of the file and within a minute the other numbers files synced. Not sure what is going on, but the tricked worked for me.

    System:

    OS X 10.11.1

    Numbers: 3.6.1

     

    iOS 9.3.5

    Number: 2.6.2
