Q: Is it possible to use iCloud like Dropbox?
I have loads of storage on iCloud, but the use seems limited?
Is it possible to use iCloud like Dropbox, or the erstwhile MobileMe, to store Microsoft Office documents, photos et al for genernal access over the internet?
Thank you

iCloud isn't like Dropbox. However, you can store iCloud-compatible app documents on iCloud, so in that case, you can use it like Dropbox, but you will need that app to access to your files.
If you want iCloud to store files, use another service like Dropbox or SkyDrive. They are better for that purpose. iCloud is focused on data sync between iPhones, iPads, iPods touch, Macs and PCs
