Documents-to-Go no longer works on my MacBook Pro following recent upgrades. I decided to try Pages and Numbers. I like being able to access the files across my devices, but where the heck are they on my computer? Can I group files in folders anymore? I saved some new files to iCloud, and now I can't see or access the files now on my MacBook unless I open them from within Pages or Numbers programs.
If you save files on iCloud, you can only access to them using the same app with iCloud turned on because they aren't saved on your Mac
This is very frustrating. I have slowly converted from a Windows user (only use Windows systems at work) to loving every Apple product purchased over the past 5 years. I'm not sure what to do now... tried out Windows 8 in a Best Buy today, and it was great. May have to rethink my Apple switch, or find another app that works & hopefully Apple will not release an update that makes it non-functional (i.e. Documents-to-go)
I have Windows 8 in my laptop and I'm writing this message on it, and it works great, but OS X Mountain Lion in my iMac is faster and better, at least for me. If you don't want to use iCloud to save your files, you can download Dropbox > http://www.dropbox.com
Thanks. I'll try this; I just don't know if I like multiple companies having access to my documents, even though they are saved with strong passwords. I had thought iCloud was there to solve these problems, especially if purchasing the in-house software (i.e. Page & Numbers).
I don't trust this yet... going to find a different solution, even if back to the stone age with SD cards and external hard drives: http://www.informationweek.com/security/management/5-dropbox-security-warnings-f or-business/240005413
And iCloud is useful, but it doesn't save your files on the computer and you can only access to them opening the app where you saved them
Any thoughts on Carbonite instead?
or Microsoft Skydrive, since most of the files that are the issue are Word & Excel.
You can use the cloud program you prefer. I have SkyDrive and it works well
Where the heck are my files now?
