Q: How do I find documents in iCloud?

Have set up auto backup from my iPad to the iCloud. However, where are the images/documents once they're uploaded to iCloud? I'd like to share a video but now can't find it.

    Read through http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859 for a better understanding on how and what the iCloud back up is.

     

    Basically if your video is in Camera Roll it will be in the backup file. This is one large file used to return the iPad to working order if something goes wrong. You can not select one file to share from the iCloud backup nor are all the individual files on your iPad stored in it. If you delete the video from your iPad it will be removed from the iPad back up file when it is updated as well. If you want to share a video you do it on the iPad through the Photo or other app and tap the share icon for your options.
