iOS8 I can't find the iCloud Drive Icon. Where is t?

There were updates to Pages, Numbers and Keynote for Yosemite and iOS8. All now have access to iCloud Drive and there is now a document picker for iCloud Drive in the iOS apps

It doesn't.

There is only one service that replicates your existing folder structure for sync, so if the smith project is in the smith folder on your mac it will be in the smith folder on your iPad etc.

If you want client folders on IOS8 make them inside the respective app folders

Please help us , Apple. Was that difficult to crate an app like dropbox,one drive....????

For iOS devices, there really isn't a need for one. As with the previous iteration of iCloud, iCloud Drive will integrate directly with apps that are designed to use it (and that you permit to do so). In addition to file specific apps, this includes several file management apps. But overall, the most efficient way of using it will be directly in the app you wish to use for the file yo want to open.

I disagree, it doesn't make sense at all actually. If I'm navigating a folder full of work files, I don't want to open keynote to view a presentation, exit keynote and open up pages to view a doc file, exit pages and open up ibooks to view a pdf file. That's the worst workflow possible. Which reminds me, there is still no pdf solution in iOS. Having an app that provides a central location to view all your files makes much more sense for productivity. I guess I'll have to stick with dropbox/drive.

Why is that the "worst possible workflow"? You are going to open those apps anyway to work on the file.

There are plenty of PDF solutions. Visit the app store.

Everyone's needs are different but I don't want my files spread across multiple app containers. I like having all relevant files in one folder, just like you would organize your files in Finder on your mac. A cloud drive app that would allow viewing of PDF/keynote/pages is perfectly within the capacity of Apple's programmers. I can understand having the specific apps launch when editing is necessary (like google drive/docs/slides).

If other people didn't like organizing their files this way, google drive and dropbox wouldn't be popular apps. These are good solutions to file management on a mobile device. I was hoping to move my files to iCloud to keep everything "apple," but if not that's ok because there are already other services that work well.

There is no built-in PDF solution, obviously. There is an app for everything, but this discussion board is for apple products/services.

I was hoping Apple would have an ISO app like dropbox with an added extra of being able to work on my stored file using my iPad.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. As long as the underlying structure is there for doing that (and it is) ... you'll find some developers putting that out in short order ... :-) ...

There are apps that will serve this purpose. One is iCloud Drive for iOS. If you drop into iCloud drive in Yosemite, the iOS app will allow you to preview and then to open in the appropriate application. Very similar to what you were asking for.

Why is Apple relying on non Apple apps to do this.

Every time Apple does an update something doesn't work in IOS. Now Apple TV remote streaming movies doesn't work from my iPad 4, Air and 5s. By the time Apple sorts their problems out I only get 8 months of problem free operating until Apples next update.

Do you have a link to the 'iCloud Drive' iOS app on the iTunes App Store? A search didn't find anything by that name.

Thanks!

Sorry, got carried away with the i's. It is cloud drive. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cloud-drive-explorer/id921748552?mt=8

Thanks for the link... alas, the app doesn't work for me. I can navigate to a custom directory on my iCloud Drive, but files (pdf) don't open.

'iCloud Drive' iOS app does work thanks for the link Level 2 which is great the only thing which is missing is the date the file or pdf was produced.

PDF Expert or Goodreader will open the PDF files
