How to create a file folder in iCloud pages? (a few documents)

Hi Lisa,

Just drag one file on top of the other and a folder will appear.

how do you make folders inside of folders?

You will have to ask Apple to add that feature by using the feedback icon at the top right of app.

Thanks! I've recently moved from Word to Pages (and think it's much better for the most part), but I was really confused about how iCloud worked with pages, as I have all my documents on my mac.

What about making folders within the 'mobile documents' folder inside the 'library' folder on the mac itself? Does this work? – can you use this folder as you would a dropbox folder?

I had this question too. Apple supports folders in a nice way, but it is not advertised or documented, as far as I can tell.

I figured out how to create folders that I can see on my iPad or my iPhone--through the back door by going into the Library/Mobile Documents folder on my iMac, before I learnedf an easier way to do it on my mobile devices.

Using your mobile device, if you open up Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on your iPhone or iPad, you have the option to see your Documents. If you have documents that fall into a category that you would like to put in a common folder, e.g. "Colorado Trip," all you need to do to start the process is select one of the documents by pressing down on it with your finger, then dragging that document on top of one of the other documents that you want in the same folder. A folder will be created and you will be given a chance to name that folder. After this step, you can drag other documents into the new folder, or out of it if you change your mind.

If you have the most recent Pages, Numbers, and Keynote iOS app updates, you can search your directory on your iPhone of iPad. The search looks inside these new folders, so it's a fairly nice boost to your organization and productivity.

Enjoy!

Cheers mate.

In case anyone should come across this post, I found this out by messing about in iCloud.

Creating a folder on the web interface works just like creating app folders in iOS. Simply drag and drop one Pages document onto another and voila, you have a folder. You can rename it as you wish.

You can also, if you also have a Mac with iCloud Documents and Data enabled, navigate to:

~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents

You can create folders there and they will sync up to iCloud.

Another way, if you have Pages 5 on your Mac and again, Documents and Data syncing enabled through iCloud, you can do the same thing from the Open dialogue box. Namely, you can drag and drop Pages documents onto eachother to create a new folder.

Hope that helps anyone else that may be looking for this.

Cheers.
