iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.4.1
Example. I want to download this form. Dropbox is an option. iCloud Drive isn’t (there isnt an option called “files” either). How can I make it an option.
Note: Google Drive and One Drive aren’t options here either.
Thank You for quick response. Unfortunately, I must not have asked the question well as the answer indicates my question was not understood.
I used Chrome as an example, but the same issue did arise when I went to the same site using Apple’s Safari browse. There was not an option there either to save the file to iCloud Drive. Dropbox, yes, iCloud, no.
When using any browser on my iPad, I should be able to download a document to the iCloud Drive. If that option is not there, what can be done?
I give up. Nobody understands the issue here.
I should be able to use ICloud Drive for storing documents just like Google Drive, or MS OneDrive, or DropBox. In fact, the link above says it can be used like Dropbox. So if I get to a document from either Chrome, or Safari, and the iPad and wish to save it, iCloud Drive isn’t an option (Dropbox is). I just want the browser to give me that option.
As an example, on your iPad go to the IRS.gov (using either Chrome or Safari) website and find a PDF form. Figure out how to save it to iCloud Drive (or Google Drive, or OneDrive). If those aren’t in the browser as an option, how can they be added?
So are you suggesting I download the document to Dropbox (an option that Chrome and Safari does provide) and then move it to iCloud Drive? If that is the best option, then why even use iCloud Drive at all?
If the browser I use on the iPad (either Chrome or Safari) doesn’t let me download to ICloud Drive the it really not an efficient place to store documents.
If there is not a "Save to Files" item in the bottom strip (all monochrome icons) in the Share menu, scroll to the right end of that strip to enable it. You can access iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, local "On My iPad" storage, and probably Google Drive through Files, depending on which you have installed and enabled.
I did scroll to the right. There isn't an option to Save to Files there. Is there something in settings I can do to make that available?

Chrome browser is not an Apple product, best you ask the app developer.
In Safari while viewing your online PDF, tap the share icon (a square with an arrow pointing upwards),
then select "Save to Files" and tap iCloud Drive.
This link from 3 years ago. If I not mistaken, iCloud Drive not designed for your purpose, only for online storage. http://www.cnet.com/how-to/your-complete-guide-to-apples-icloud-drive/
Clarify, I’m testing out what you said on my iPad Pro, “ iCloud Drive“ is grayed out, unless I’m have to do something else.😉
Check
Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Drive: ON?
Honestly, I never use iCloud Drive. Turn it on, working now.😊
Well, you are not forced to use iCloud Drive.
But since you jumped in and ask why?
You can use something else after you tap the share icon.
It's possible the reason you don't see "iCloud Drive" is because Apple now called it "Files".
Yes, I’m trying to store the document found in browser. Chrome and Safari give me the option to save file to Dropbox, but not iCloud Drive.
