Q: Icloud drive icon

Hello,

upgraded to IOS 8 on all my devices yesterday, waited for iCloud Drive to become available on one of my PC's. It's now setup and running on a Windows laptop... (Interesting that it becomes available on Windows before Mac...)

I can see the folder in File Explorer, in iCloud on the web, but no way to access it on any of my IOS devices???

Should there not be an icon available? I'm already paying for additional storage, but I can travel with my iPad because I don't hhave access to my files???

Is it just just me or did I not set something properly?

iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 8, iPhone 5S also

It's crazy ! Years ago, there was an app called iDisk...
I don't want to synchronize contacts between my iPhone and my iCloud Drive account. Just access to/read some phone numbers from my iOS 8 device.
And I need to use Safari to do that???
