iCloud v/s Google Drive

Hi there! I am a subscriber to Google One services which also helps me backup my files on multiple devices on to Google Drive. On iCloud I can see it offers only backup for device data (pwds, etc.), photos and applications. Can I upload files like Word dox, PPTs, Excel sheets, etc. on to iCloud? If yes; how do I do it?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

I do not believe iCloud has this capability. Can you guide me on the steps to get a PDF document uploaded to iCloud?"

Sure, you can upload them. Question is: Can you open them?
