iCloud Drive upgrade continuously updating in Settings

I have an iPhone 5S and updated to iOS8 yesterday. During the iOS8 setup, I clicked Yes to enable the new iCloud Drive (even though I saw many warnings not to). However, now that my phone has successfully updated to iOS8, when I click in Settings>iCloud, I see a continuous spinning wheel and "Updating" next to iCloud Drive. The update for iCloud Drive has never been completed.


Things I have tried to address this issue:

1) soft reset (holding power button and home button simultaneously).

2) completely erase and restore my phone from an iCloud Backup - when I went through iOS8 setup again, this time I selected No to enabling iCloud Drive. However, once iOS8 was all setup again, Settings>iCloud still showed my iCloud Drive as continuously "updating."


How can I get out of this eternal updating and have iCloud Drive enabled? Is this a symptom of Yosemite's not being released? That is, does everyone who updated to iCloud Drive currently suffer from this same issue? Is there an easy fix that I am overlooking?


Thank you!

iPhone 5s, iOS 8

Yosemite has been released and replaced, so it's not that. From your post I would say it is a case of impatience on your part.
