How To Access iCloud Drive in OS X Yosemite

iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite now share files between each other using iCloud Drive, Apple’s new cloud-based file sharing system.

Once you’ve enabled it, you’ll have quick access to it in just a few clicks through Finder on your Mac!

 

Step 1. Click on the Finder icon in your Mac dock.

Step 2. In the Favorites section, click on iCloud Drive — alternately, you can find iCloud Drive in the Go menu at the top of any Finder menu if you’ve removed it from the Favorites section.

 

 

By default, iCloud Drive maintains folders for each of the Apple iWork applications — Keynote, Pages and Numbers — along with folders used by Preview, QuickTime Player, Script Editor, TextEdit and Automator. But that doesn’t mean those are the only folders you can keep in iCloud Drive. You can put whatever you want in there, within the limits of your storage allotment for iCloud.
