It seems from http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/documents.html that documents are only synced form the mac if you physically move them back and forth through the iCloud website? This can't be true is it? I wonder how it will work in MS Office.
Got a tip for us?

iCloud Mac Document Sync?

Yeah, I noticed the same thing, it's frustrating. Hopefully they allow the Mac to sync to iCloud.
I'm curious to see if we can have a shared folder of some kind or some automatic way to sync documents from the mac over to iOS. iCloud will be kind of pointless if we have to manually move each file from the mac to the advices. I don't know about you guys but I care WAY more about syncing between my mac and iPhone than between my iPad and iPhone. If I can't sync documents as easily as i did in iDisk, this is a huge step backwards.
Yup,
The ability to sync a document from my Mac to my iPad is really the only document sync I care about.
I've got a pile of documents that I use 99% of the time on the Mac, and occasionally I'd like to view them on the iPad while on the go. I don't want to have to remember to upload them from the Mac since that is the whole point of the cloud. I will nearly never change them on the iPad but I still want to see the up to date versions.
I'm hoping there is a updated version of iWork coming with this functionality in it and they are waiting a bit to release it due to update-server load today.
Until then I can still use iTeleport+email to mail myself a version from my Mac when I need to look at it.

Yeah I hope you are right and the do an update for iWork '09 for the Mac to add some iCloud functioning. It's a huge pain to load to iCloud for each document
