Enabling iCloud Drive on your devices
Understanding supported file types
Managing files and folders
If you’ve ever used a computer before, you’re used to saving your files on drives of some sort: internal or external hard drives or perhaps a USB flash drive. These drives act like filing cabinets, allowing you to organize and store your important documents in one easy-to-access place. iCloud Drive is the cloud-based equivalent of those drives, but with one huge difference: You can get to iCloud Drive on any computer, smartphone, or tablet from anywhere you have Internet access. That sure beats lugging a file cabinet around everywhere, doesn’t it?
Read on to discover how to access and utilize iCloud Drive to sync and store your files in one convenient location accessible to all your devices.
Accessing iCloud Drive on Your Devices
