Access iCloud Drive files from your iPhone and other devices

Use iCloud Drive to manage, view, edit and update file versions across all of your devices.

Use iCloud Drive on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC

Set up iCloud Drive to keep your files up to date across your devices.

On your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iOS 11 and later, you can access your files from the Files app when you have iCloud Drive set up. The Files app makes it easy to share your documents, collaborate in real time on your Pages, Numbers, and Keynote projects, and manage everything that you store in iCloud Drive.

If you don’t have the Files app on your device, update to iOS 11 or later. If you’re using iOS 9 or iOS 10, you can use the iCloud Drive app.

Automatically save Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files to iCloud Drive

You can update the settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch so that your documents automatically save to iCloud Drive, On My [device], or a third-party cloud service.

1. Go to Settings.
2. Choose to update the settings for Pages, Numbers, or Keynote.
3. Tap Document Storage.
4. Choose where you want to automatically save your documents.

If you choose iCloud Drive, changes you make to Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files on your Mac automatically save to iCloud Drive.

Add Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive

If you want to access files from your Mac on your other devices, you can add the Desktop and Documents folder to iCloud Drive.

Manage your iCloud Drive files while offline

If you’re offline and want to access, edit, and save documents in iCloud Drive, follow these steps first.

How to access files while you’re offline

To access your files offline, open the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and follow these steps.

If you make changes to locally stored versions of your files while offline the changes won’t appear in iCloud Drive. Upload the updated versions of your files to iCloud Drive when you’re back online.

Upload files to iCloud Drive to save changes made offline

You can upload files to iCloud Drive from a Mac or PC by doing one of the following:

• Drag files from either your desktop or a folder window on your computer to the iCloud Drive window. You can also drag your files to a folder icon in the iCloud Drive window. If you drag to a folder icon, it’s highlighted to confirm that the item you’re dragging goes into the folder.

• Click the iCloud Drive upload button in the iCloud Drive toolbar. Select the files you want to upload, then click Choose.

If you don’t have enough space in iCloud for your upload, upgrade your iCloud storage or manage your iCloud storage to free up space.

When changes to your files upload to iCloud

The amount of time it takes for your changes to upload to iCloud depends on the app you’re using. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote regularly upload files to iCloud so you don’t lose any changes. Other apps upload your files to iCloud only after you save them to the iCloud Drive folder. To see your saved files on a Mac, go to Finder > iCloud Drive. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to the Files app. On a PC with iCloud for Windows, go to File Explorer > iCloud Drive.

If you still don’t see the latest changes or you see an «in-progress change» icon or the iCloud icon in the notification area (system tray), try to save a new document to the iCloud Drive folder. Then check the iCloud Drive folder to see if the changes appear.

Where to find missing files

When you turn on iCloud Drive, any documents that you already store in iCloud automatically move to iCloud Drive. You can see your files on iCloud.com, in the Files app on iOS 11 and later, in the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps, or in the iCloud Drive app on iOS 10 and iOS 9.

If you don’t see your files in any of those locations, set up iCloud Drive on all of your devices.

If you need to access a file that you deleted within the last 30 days, you can get it back from the Recently Deleted folder in the Files app, or on iCloud.com.

If your files don’t update to iCloud Drive

Check these things first:

• Make sure that you have enough iCloud storage. If you need more space in iCloud, you can buy more iCloud storage or free up space by deleting content.
• Sign in to iCloud on all of your devices and turn on iCloud Drive.
• Make sure that you have an active Internet connection on your Mac and on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
• Install the latest versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. See which versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote you can use with iCloud Drive.
• Create a new document and save it to see if it uploads to iCloud. If it does, see if your other documents start uploading.

If you tried these steps and your files still don’t upload to iCloud, stay signed in to iCloud and save your updated files to a different folder on your Mac or PC. Then contact Apple Support for more help.

How to address a Resolve Conflict message

If you get a Resolve Conflict message when you open a file, choose the version of the document that you want to save. Then choose Keep to update the file in iCloud. This message means the file was updated on another device or from iCloud.com since the last time you signed in to iCloud.

Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

View and manage your files from any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The Files app makes it simple to find what you’re looking for, no matter what device you’re currently using.

Find your files

The Files app includes files on the device you’re using, as well as those in other cloud services and apps, and iCloud Drive. You can also work with zip files.* To access your files, just open the Files app and choose the location of the file you’re looking for.

Save a copy of your file locally

You can find locally stored files in On My [device], under Locations. On your iPad, simply drag files into the On My iPad folder to store them directly on your device. If you want to save a file locally on your iPhone or iPod touch, follow these steps.

1. Go to the file that you want to store on your device.
2. Tap Select > the file name > Organize .
3. Under On My [Device], choose a folder or tap New Folder to create a new one.
4. Tap Copy.

On iOS 12 or earlier, tap the file and choose Move. Then, under On My [device], choose Numbers, Keynote, or Pages, and tap Copy.

Move iCloud Drive files

Organize your files

It’s easy to organize all of the files stored in iCloud Drive — including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote documents. When you make changes on one device, your edits are automatically updated on every device using iCloud Drive.

You can make your own folders. Or rename the files and folders you already have when you press firmly on them.

Create new folders

3. Swipe down on the screen.
4. Tap More .
5. Select New Folder.
6. Enter the name of your new folder. Then tap Done.

On iOS 12 or earlier, tap New Folder . If you don’t see New Folder or it’s gray, then the third-party cloud service doesn’t support new folders.

View your files by name, date, size, or the tags that you add. With colorful and custom labels, you can assign tags to your files any way that you like. That means you’ll quickly find just the project or document you need.

Delete files

Select the files that you don’t want anymore and tap Delete . If you delete files from the iCloud Drive folder on one device, they delete on your other devices too. iCloud Drive removes the files from every device that you’re signed in to with the same Apple ID.

When you delete a file from iCloud Drive or On My [device], it goes into your Recently Deleted folder. If you change your mind or accidentally delete a file, you have 30 days to get it back. Go to Locations > Recently Deleted. Select the file that you want to keep and tap Recover. After 30 days, your files are removed from Recently Deleted.

You can also sign into iCloud.com from your Mac or PC, then go to iCloud Drive and check Recently Deleted.

Share folders and files with your friends or colleagues

Want to share with a friend or colleague? You can share any folder or file stored in iCloud Drive directly from the Files app. In iCloud Drive, tap Select, choose the file or folder that you want to share, tap Share , and select Add People. You can share a folder or file through AirDrop, Messages, Mail, and more. Learn more about how folder sharing and file sharing work in iCloud Drive.

Or maybe you want to collaborate on a project in real time. The Files app lets you do that too with your Pages, Numbers, and Keynote documents. Select the file and tap Share or > Add People . You can invite them to collaborate through Messages, Mail, or copy and paste a link. Your participants are color-coded. And you can see when they’re online, actively working on your shared document.

Use third-party apps in Files

The Files app lets you add your third-party cloud services — like Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud, Google Drive, and more — so that you can access all of your files on all of your devices. The files you keep in iCloud Drive automatically appear in the Files app, but you need to set up your other cloud services to access them in the Files app too.

4. Tap More > Edit.

You can also connect to unencrypted storage on a file server, if that storage is using the APFS, Mac OS Extended, MS-DOS (FAT), or ExFAT format. You also have the option to view your files in Column View, which is helpful if you have files nested in multiple folders. Column View lets you see previews of files and offers access to tools like markup and rotate without even opening a file.

1. Open the Browse tab.
2. Tap More .
3. Select Connect to Server.

If you need help

• Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest iOS, or iPadOS.
