Q: How can I view individual documents or data?

I am having trouble understanding iCloud storage! With Drop box everything backed up is easily accessible. I want to use iCloud as my main back up but I can't access my documents to delete old stuff, to manage the storage space!!! Do I delete the unwanted document files on the computer? does this automatically delete the from iCloud? Someone please help

Mac OS X (10.6.1)

    iCloud is not a backup system, do not try to use it as one. Use Time Machine to backup.

     

    If you delete from your computer then you are deleting from iCloud (assuming that you are deleting data stored on iCloud in the first place)

     

    iCloud does not work with OSX 10.6.1, are you sure that is what you are running?
