About iCloud Drive

in iCloud so you can access these documents 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 using iOS 8, Mac computers using OS X Yosemite, PCs with
iCloud for Windows 4.0, or through iCloud.com. To access iCloud Drive, you must be signed into
iCloud using your Apple ID. iCloud Drive works with supported apps including Pages, Numbers,
Keynote, GarageBand, and some third-party apps.

later in Settings. iCloud Drive is an upgrade to Documents & Data. When you upgrade to iCloud
Drive, your documents are copied to iCloud Drive and become available on your devices using
iCloud Drive. You won’t be able to access the documents stored in iCloud Drive on your other
devices until they are also upgraded to iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite. For more information about
