    Any improvements to iCloud Drive?

    So, I have a Mac Mini stored in a data center. It has a 128GB SSD and 2TB hard drive. Right now in Sierra, I can't copy a 200GB .dmg file from my 2TB to my iCloud Drive because it first needs to copy to the 128GB SSD which doesn't have enough space. Wondering if they improved the iCloud Drive...

    Is the iBooks folder visible on iCloud Drive?

    Can I access my books and PDFs from the finder, like with Pages or Numbers documents, when using macOS? Or is the folder supposed to be hidden and only available through the iBooks app? I can't see it and just want to make sure that this is not a bug and that there really is no option to show...

    Which Apple ID to use for iBooks?

    I have two Apple IDs, one for iTunes and one for iCloud. The reason for this is historical, because there was a time when these were different things and my accounts are that old. I have never really used iBooks so far (there are only a few random PDFs in there and two book I bought years ago)...

    How does Time Machine work with iCloud?

    Now with Sierra you can browse though history of the folder in iCloud Drive. I just tested how it works. I had a bunch of screen shots on the Desktop, which is in iCloud Dive, and I moved them to Trash. And on the Desktop I entered Time Machine without connecting to my Time Machine disk. As I...

    Problems with iCloud Drive Document Picker

    Anyone have an idea if Apple will improve the iCloud Drive doc picker dialog in iOS? Currently it doesn't save your last folder, meaning if you want to sift through a bunch of files in a deep folder in an app like PDF Expert you have to re-navigate to the folder every time. The "Add too..."...

    iCloud Drive - highlights and notes

    Hey, I have tons of pdfs on my iCloud account as I find it useful to read scientific articles on my iPad. The problem is that most of the times I like as well to annotate them or to simply highlight certain parts. On iBooks I've seen that you can't do that with pdfs. But on the iCloud Drive app...

    Can anyobody explain me how the heck Desktop iCloud storage works? I think I've messed all my documents without even knowing how. And thanks to iCloud.

    iCloud Drive on iOS 10

    One of my biggest grievances with iCloud Drive on my iPhone (and the main reason I haven't completely transitioned from Dropbox to iCloud Drive) is that if I want to look at a Word/Pages document saved to my iCloud Drive, instead of opening up a preview of the document in the iCloud Drive app...

    FINALLY "Add to iCloud Drive" button in every compatible share sheet!

    I am beyond ecstatic to find that the latest iOS 10 beta has an "Add to iCloud Drive" button in most share sheets that I can see including third party apps.
