Q: I want to put a specific folder in iCloud

I already use Dropbox for a lot of business stuff.

Now, I want to use Apple's iCloud for my personal stuff. I want to put a folder on my doc on my

laptop and on my desktop that will be the same "synced" files consisting of inDesign files and

PDF's. How do I do this?

Mac OS X (10.6.8)

A:

Make sure you've upgraded to iCloud Drive. Log into http://icloud.com and click Pages. If it prompts you to upgrade, do so. If you see an iCloud Drive icon on your iCloud home page already, you've done this step.

On your Mac, in the Finder, click Preferences, and under "Sidebar", make sure "iCloud Drive" is ticked. This will then give you a sidebar shortcut to your Drive.

You need to have iCloud Drive, requiring Yosemite (OS X 10.10). Once you have that, and you get the iCloud Drive shortcut in the Finder, you can put any folder into the top level of iCloud.

As Matt explained, you need to update to Yosemite(10.10.x) to get the iCloud Drive folder in Finder.

I have Yosemite 10.10.1

When I click OPTIONS on the iDrive icon in my ICloud app in Systems Pref. It doesn't give me any way to add.
It even shows apps that will "store" there but I want to add a SPECIFIC folder, etc.
