How do I save a Word doc to iCloud?

When you are saving from Word, tap the "... More" to access iCloud Drive.

The Search bar in the screenshot indicates that tapped "Open" then "...More"

If you want to save a file to iCloud Drive you have to be saving, not opening. Edit a new document and when saving it press the ...More to change the location to iCloud. For an existing document already saved on the iPad, you can tap Open to get to the list of documents and then press the icon that looks like an up arrow from a rectangle, the Move to Cloud, then ...More

You may also want to consider using Microsoft OneDrive rather than iCloud.

Nothing for free,

When you click more, you will have a pop up messege says:

Office 365 Feature

Get thisfeature and more with a subscription

So you have to pay money to have that option

It's really annoying!!

Dear ChrisyP02,

I am not sure if you still need this answer but I had the same question and surfed the internet, that is how i found your question , but not an answer. Eventually after trying everything , I found a solution. I am using OneDrive and I wanted to save the docs from there to the iCloud Drive.This is what I did and worked perfectly:

1. Open OneDrive , and go to your files

2. Press and hold the desired file until the circles appear around all files and a blue arrow appears next to the one you are holding

3. Go to the right up corner and press the first option which is the rectangle with the arrow upwards

4. When it opens , go on the second row and choose "Send File" which will open another similar window where on the bottom row you will see "Add to iCloud Drive". And you are done!! 🙂

🙂

Alternatively, in the same last window on the first row you have the option "Import with Pages" , which will take your file to Pages app from where is really simple to upload it to the iCloud Drive.

I really hope this helps

Be annoyed with Microsoft, their decision, their pocket

Such a professional reply!!! Thx..

That what we called a professional answer

Thank you very much, that is really helpful

You're a genius!!! Thanks!

I've just had this exact experience, after 4 months of Word linking to my iCloud perfectly, its now stopped and keeps coming up with that exact message. I could cry, its making transferring my lecture notes to my laptop so difficult! Thank you for posting this though, at least I know I'm not the only one.

My Microsoft Word also does not allow me to put documents in the cloud.

However, I solved it simply:

- open the file with Pages; in the save-as option, select: iCoud/Pages. And then the word document is immediately available in the idevice (ipad).

Hi! Okay, so I'm looking as well for the answer because what foxfith said didn't worked out with me. Anyway, I accidentally found the right answer and this is for those people who also didn't worked it out to them. I hope this is helpful.

First, go to your document then click the "more" or the three dots (...) in the upper right corner. Then after that click the Send a Copy. Then click the Send with another App. So there will be a pop-out of different applications. Now you can click the Add to iCloud Drive. Then done!

Btw, I'm just using an iPhone 5. So I hope this will work out to you guys. You can thank me later and you're welcome! 😊

Thanks Fox Faith! It worked !
