iPad w/ iOS 8 - will not access iCloud drive
I can see it connected in settings, so it seems.
But if I try to access via Safari then there is no access and it tells me to go to Settings and set it up first.
I am confused and not sure what is the next step.
Thanks in advance.
iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 8.2
You do not need to access iCloud Drive in Safari and typically you can't access it unless you have Safari request the desktop site for iCloud. I believe that the message that you are getting is to set up iCloud on the iPad, not iCloud Drive in the settings.
You can access everything in iCloud Nrive in the corresponding apps on the iPad so there is no need to access iCloud Drive in Safari. You access contacts in the Contacts app, Reminders in the Reminders app, Notes in the Notes App. Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents are accessed in the iPad apps themselves.
What exactly are you trying to get to in iCloud Drive in Safari?
If this is the screen that you are seeing, this is telling you to set up iCloud on the device because you cannot access iCloud from a mobile browser so it defaults to this.
Hi, Yes this is the message I am receiving.
However I do still have questions.
I have PDFs that I have saved on my iCloud Drive. What if I wanted to access them ?
Can you provide me suggestions to access and read PDFs that are on my drive please ?
I would like to use PDFs on my iBooks but that does not seem to be able to sync across devices.
Thanks in advance.
To access other files form iCloud Drive you need an App that can access it.
I use Documents 5 by Readdle for just such things.
https://readdle.com/products/documents
https://itunes.apple.com/app/documents-by-readdle/id364901807?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D 4
With that you can view the PDFs directly in Readle, or send them to iBooks if you want to.
Unfortunately iBooks does not access iCloud Drive like the other apps do.
