Where is the icon for this iCloud thing? I have looked and looked for it! Maybe my asumsion that it would work like Dropbox is wrong?
I am expecting that I can find an icon/app open it and see all my files like Dropbox. I am wrong, because so fare not such thing exsits,
to bad, real though this is how it would have worked.
It's in the Settings "iCloud".
That is a bummer, I upgraded soley for the iCloud Drive feature!
The only good news - when you log in to iCloud.com they are all there!
So hopefully soon Apple will release an iCloud Drive-app just like dropbox.
yes I hope so....
I was under the impression that I would be able to access an icloud drive "document picker" to select documents that are stored in the drive, but outside of the App's library. For Example, I have folders in my drive created for each class I'm taking with all of their relevant files. I find this better than spreading class files across Preview, Pages, And keynote's separate cloud containers.
The updates just rolled out to Keynote, Pages, and Numbers today. Unfortunately you can still only access the app's iCloud container.
Exactly! I thought I was going crazy today looking for that thing. Then I thought it could be accessed through iWorks... Nope. Then, just a few minutes ago, iOS prompted me to update my pages and numbers app. Still nothing. I have absolutely no idea why Apple would show this feature off and then release iOS 8 without it and not tell anyone that it's missing. Would be really nice to know from Apple what is up with this. This was one of the features I was most looking forward too. Very disappointing. 😟
Yep I am not too happy. This is is probably the only feature that I was really excited about. I can't make anything look like this those screen shots with all the folders. I did finally get to them from the web. But really I wanted it to be like Dropbox. If it is not going to be like that, I am willing to trust Apple that thier way will be better. But at the moment there is no way do it. I don't see anything different except the Webpage. Very disappointing and fustrating. Oh well...
I think they are waiting to release Yosamite, first.
I can't be 100% certain because I am not using iCloud drive as yet, however I think it may be because these people simply haven't updated their iCloud drive compatible apps as of yet.
It seems iCloud Drive as of today only works under www.icloud.com (you have a new app inside your web account, just go there and you'll find it). You can upload and download any file and do things exactly like Dropbox. On your iOS device, you will find your documents automatically inside the app that is working also through iCloud. If you open Pages, you will find any document automatically in your cloud. If you save a new one, it will appear inside iCloud Drive in the web app.
There is no iCloud Drive App on your iOS8 device as of now. Maybe Apple is releasing it later. I don't see why they should, since it works automatically anyway, but since there were screenshots of this on Iphone and Ipad, I guess they will. I would prefer to have an app for this, like DropBox, but even if there was no app, no big deal: it already works perfectly inside other apps. (for now just Pages, Keynote, Numbers and a few others, but I guess updates to other apps will adjust this problem).
I need this too, a finder mod for icloud drive, where is this thing...?
Very frustrating... apple cloud service used to be the worst one compared to One Drive, Google Drive or Dropbox. When we receive a hope such a good service as the others... we get frustrated like that... i am really disappointed.
I am skeptical about Apple releasing an iCloud Drive File Viewer for IOS. They have a very app centric view of files. Not their file? They seem not to care.
But I have to believe that within days or weeks there will be third party apps in the app store that do just that . . . a file viewer for iCloud Drive on IOS. So you can view folders and files placed there from your Mac.
I also use this capability extensively now. I use an app called Phone Drive on IOS, and manually populate the iCloud folder on the Mac with Finder. I have a whole folder structure with all types of files. Worked great with the "old iCloud". I was hoping iCloud Drive was going to do this, and I bet it will when we get a third party iCloud Drive IOS app.
No app as far as I know. I don't think Apple ever said that. I do see an app at icloud.com though.
I am having the same problem! I updated to iOS 8 on my iPad and iPhone. Then made sure all the iCould settings are correct under settings, including making sure iCloud Drive is on. Then on both of my iOS 8 device I went to log into the Web based iCloud page, signed in and all I get is this old looking interface that thinks I am back in 2011 signing up for iCloud for the very first time. If you click on this page you are taken to the old iCloud instruction web page and told how to sign up for it.
Now on my Mac desktop (in Mountain Lion) I can get to the Webpage for iCloud sign in and it logs in properly and shows me the drive and all is fine. It also works on my Windows RT Surface 2 in the browser. But on any of my iOS 8 Devices it is NOT WORKING. In fact it is not working anywhere; no drive App on the splash screen anywhere and even in Apps like Pages (that have been updated) it is not working. All I get is the old filing system. Even though it is working on the Web; well somewhat.
This is a big fail! And please, people are not stupid, most of us know how to make sure it is on and that we are using the right devices. In fact when I first installed it, my device walked me through the steps very well. I could have done it with one finger and blind and it would still have been set up right. This is what Apple is good at. But for a lot of us iCloud Drive is not working.
Let me be another one to chime in on this one.
Apple, you've pretty much won the war at the consumer level, not it's time to pay attention to people that use you for work.
All of the marketing behind iCloud Drive was to present this as a "Dropbox" alternative. Which is why I bought additional storage before upgrading my IOS devices, set everything up so that I can see the iCloud Drive app/icon on the web site and thought all is good...
But voila... No icon in IOS 8, same old same old concerning the filing system. Nothing near a "Dropbox" alternative... For business people like myself this is a must have as my plan was to keep everything within the Apple ecosystem, but at this point I can make use of this on my iPad or iPhone.
Hopefully someone from Apple will chime in here soon and say this will be addressed. If not I guess we are all going back to Dropbox or OneDrive...
iOS8 I can't find the iCloud Drive Icon. Where is t?
