alias files - icloud drive

How to make changes/corrections to alias files on icloud drive? On my ipad, I see the files, but cannot make any changes. Always have to go back to my Mac to do so. Solutions?

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi

Tell us the whole story, from the beginning, please


iCloud files are NOT aliases - the files "live" in iCloud.com

Think of them like you would IMAP emails


I can seamlessly create and edit files (Numbers, Pages, Keynote) in either iCloud (for Windows) or on my iPhone


I have the LATEST software on both devices - do you?
