If you have two Apple devices (e.g., Mac and iPhone or iPad) and want to be able to access a document from both or if you only have one device and want to keep a copy of a document on iCloud as well as on your device, then iCloud Drive could be useful. You get 5GB storage free, so if you decide you don't need or want to use it there is nothing you need to do -- just don't use it. More information at http://www.apple.com/icloud/icloud-drive/
