[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1923245, member: 83420"] [USER=290804]@hoody[/USER] iCloud and iCloud Drive are different things. [U]iCloud [/U]is predominantly used for syncing data between Devices. It is also used for backups from iDevices and from the Photos app on any/all Devices. This quote from Apple Support: [I]"iCloud is the service from Apple that securely stores your photos, notes, passwords and other data in the cloud and keeps it up to date across all your devices automatically. iCloud also makes it easy to share photos, notes and more with friends and family. You can also back up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch using iCloud". "iCloud includes a free email account and 5 GB of free storage for your data. For more storage and additional features, you can subscribe to iCloud+."[/I] [U]iCloud Drive[/U] is where you can store data and where you can access that data, if required, from any Device. A full explanation can be found here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201104[/URL] In my opinion,[U] iCloud Drive[/U] is where you should be saving your files such as PDFs and the like. I concede that the distinction between iCloud and iCloud Drive is confusing and there is some degree of overlap between the two. And, just to conclude, I didn't fully understand your comment about "putting a PDF into Pages app" - unless you meant that you recreated the document in Pages app and then created a PDF and Saved it as a PDF. Pages [I]can[/I] be uploaded to iCloud; but if you have a PDF created outside of Pages or from the Web etc, that should go to iCloud Drive. It would be nice to know if any of the above has helped?:) Ian [/QUOTE]
