About iCloud Drive
iCloud Drive stores your documents—including your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, and images
—in iCloud, so you can access them from any of your devices set up with iCloud. It allows your
apps to share documents so you can work on the same file across multiple apps.
iCloud Drive works with devices with iOS 8 or later, Mac computers with OS X Yosemite or later,
PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0, or on . To access iCloud Drive, you must be signed in
to iCloud with your Apple ID. iCloud Drive works with Pages, Numbers, Keynote, GarageBand, and
iCloud-enabled third-party apps. Storage limits are subject to your iCloud storage plan.
Note: iCloud Drive is automatically turned on for new accounts and users (iOS 8 or later).
