iCloud Drive - Shortcut
Hi all.
Does anyone know a way of making a desktop shortcut to the iCloud drive? I want the drive to show on my desktop like a mapped drive? I just can't see away.
Any ideas?
Thanks in adavance

The Finder Path Bar is disabled by default, but it only takes a few seconds to enable it.
I have worked out a way to do it. I wish it was more of a native way but hey it works.

Apple, if you are reading this. Please give us a native apple way of adding iCloud to the desktop. Dropbox , SkyDrive and Google drive give you this.
Thanks WallaceTech. Your solution allowed me to access iCloud Drive files from within Bloomberg Anywhere (a remotely hosted service featuring Bloomberg and Excel. The trick is simply going to View Options for my Home folder and selecting "Show Library Folder." That apparently allows remote viewing of the folder and its contents.
@c.s.anders That's a terrible suggestion. Dragging the Cloud Drive folder from the path bar will copy everything instead of creating a shortcut.
Open Cloud Drive in Finder and drag an alias of the Cloud Drive folder from the path bar at the bottom. (hold down command and option while dragging)
It works if you hold down the option and command keys while dragging (to create a short cut).
Clean and simple, thanks so much! :-)
It's simple guys: Command+Shift+I
very helpful ... works
i tried this but haven't got a pathway bar at the bottom. how do i get the pathway bar to show up in finder?
