Question

browse icloud drive on ios device?

Is there a way to browse the files and folders of my iCloud drive from my ios device, without opening a specific app like pages, or numbers?

I am looking to browse and open PDF's mostly. I am just wondering if there is an Apple app out there that gives similar accessibility as drop-box or how the old mac file sharing system worked where you could access all you files in the directory from any device.

It seems like the icloud drive is great for files from apple apps, but for everything else it is a bit more cumbersome to access the file directory on ios devices.

thanks!
