Can Word documents be stored in iCloud?

I'm confused. Is iCloud genuine cloud storage, or can I store only documents executed in iWork software?

It is not normal "storage". There is currently no way for you to upload a document, except for Pages, Numbers, Keynote. There are also no sharing options, as there were with MobileMe.


Apps can be made to use iCloud to share data among your devices, contingent on the programmers adding that functionality.


TBH, I find the whole thing a huge letdown, coming from years of MobileMe use where I could store what I wanted, and share it with whom I wished.
