• How to access photos that I've memorized in the iCloud drive on my iPhone

  I have stored all my pictures on my iCloud drive, but cannot access the Photos app on my iPhone. When I login to my account on a computer iCloud, I see that the 'Photos' and "iCloud Drive" are two different things. Exactly, so... am I supposed to access these photos on my iPhone? I'm so frustrated!

  I think they should be in your library (have you tried searching for them in your Photos app when connected to wifi?)

• How do you access iCloud drive from command line?

  I'm on OS 10.10.5.  On any Finder window, I see iCloud drive listed (with subfolders, some created by me, others not).

  How can I look at them from the point of view "unix"?  That is, from the command line.  When I do:

  $ sudo find /-name iCloud\ in car

  He finds a /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CloudDocsDaemon.framework/Versions/A/Resource s/iCloud Drive Drive.app/Contents/MacOS/iCloud file, which is an 'executable x86_64.  I'm afraid to run it from the command line.

  Can someone please tell me how I can watch some entries in folder under "iCloud Drive" via command line?

  Thank you.

  I can access m iCloud drive of documents from the Terminal by entering

  CD ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com ~ apple ~ CloudDocs.

  This will set the current directory to the root of the drive to iCloud.

• Access iCloud drive via the command line

  I wanted to write a small script to access iCloud by car via the command line, and to my surprise, this seems to be a very special place that is not displayed in /Volumes or even in my home directory is Dropbox.

  Veterinarians here know the way, if not to enlightenment, then to iCloud drive?

  Thanks in advance.

  It is actually a rather interesting problem. I did research I should have done before I came here and found that iCloud Drive is accessible here:

  ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents

  What is interesting is that the many, many interesting things found in this directory when you reveal all the files through ls - al, is that custom directories seem to appear. Even more interesting, in the Finder, select go > go to folder... and that type path and it does not recognize the path. Type ~/Library/, and then of course that's fine and see you the directory of Documents Mobile...

  Try either a restart - restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support or if it does not, perhaps signing of iCloud, wait a few minutes, then reconnect.

• Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

  I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

  -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

  -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

  -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

  -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

  -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

  This raises several questions:

  -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

  -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

  -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

  -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

  -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

  Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

  With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

  My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

  If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

  All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

  ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

  I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

• iCloud drive...

  Using iCloud drive in the Sierra.  Where are stored the files on the Mac for use in offline mode?

  You can access the local copy in the iCloud Drive folder. You can access in the menu go to the Finder. I find it too convenient to open Finder preferences and click on the sidebar at the top of the preferences window and put a checkmark in front of iCloud drive so that it appears in the sidebar in the Finder. It is physically stored in the Documents of the Library/Mobile.

• El Capitan iCloud drive failure complete the transfer of files on disc from Macbook to iCloud drive

  Product

  MacBook Air. 120 GB with 15 GB of free disk space.

  Connected to the internet via WIFI from Apple Timecapsule, here through to VDSL 40 MB/s in download, 10 MB/s in upload.

  Operating system

  El Capitan 10.11.06

  Describe the problem and include details on what seems to make it.

  The Macbook was working a little slowly. It seemed a good idea to transfer files to the player to iCloud from various places on the Macbook. I created a folder, XXX, within the iCloud drive. I did drag elements of 2200 (displaced), approximately 1.8 GB total for the XXX folder. The files successfully on 15 minutes, no files in the source folder. Disk utility showed that I had lost free disk space, to about 14 GB on the Macbook.

  Use the Finder to open the iCloud drive showed two points of interest:

  • Circle of pie next to iCloud Drive. The pie chart had a white game, with most of the gray.
  • At the bottom of the window in the Finder to iCloud drive notification: 8 items, 15 GB available, download 2 235 elements (1.84 GB 1.94 GB).

  Since the transition to iCloud Drive 18 hours it is, nothing good is felt. Notification of message like above remain unchanged.

  Accessing the iCloud drive through another computer, using iCloud.com on behalf of the Watch:

  • 79 items in the folder XXX (when there should be a more another 2000 points)
  • No element contain subfolders of the folder XXX
  • 4.54 GB available

  Already tried troubleshooting steps

  • Rebooted computer MacBook twice
  • Patiently waited all night for computer complete the download sync on iDrive
  • Use disk utility to repair disk

  No temporary miracle identified.

  Related full exploration of this issue is here (thanks!). The link includes several possible solutions.

  iCloud Drive no local sync

  The main solution, apparently, is "Call Apple Support". I note that there are several recent complaints in the same direction. Maybe something changed with the implementation of iCloud Drive in August 2016?

• Backup files to iCloud drive

  I ran out of space on my MacBook Pro (7.28 GB from 250 GB), and to solve my problem of storage, I leaned in iCloud drive.

  My question is if I save a file in iCloud drive does also save on the hard drive of the device that I save on?

  I did one month trial with iCould Drive 50 GB, but I do not see clear up any space... I do something wrong?

  Thanks for any help you can give!

  Yes, if you add files to iCloud by car they are stored on your hard drive, as a work around, you can disable iCloud drive and access it through your web browser to iCloud.com > iCloud Drive, it does not use your hard drive.

  iCloud drive holds shadow copies of all the files on your Mac so you can always access your documents, even in offline mode. It is supposed to keep your documents synced to your devices, not as only an off-site storage to save space on the mac.

  You can't stop the shadow - on iCloud drive all files will be downloaded to your Mac, if you enable iCloud drive.

  If you want to iCloud drive as an external storage without the shadow, don't turn on your Mac, but only use the web interface at www.iCloud.com to download and view the documents there. But then you will not be able to see iCloud drive as a drive in the Finder.

• I'm unable to open documents on my mac iCloud drive

  I'm having a problem where I am unable to open documents stored in iCloud drive on my MacBook Pro.  I already could solve this problem of disconnection and return in my iCloud desktop account.  This step doesn't work anymore.  When I try to open any file stored in iCloud, I get a message saying "the file _ could not be opened."

  Example: I opened the Pages.  When I try to open a file through this program, it will not be open.  If I try to open the file in the Finder, the same result happens.  This applies to the files of numbers and .pdf files.

  Hi mattfrompdc,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  Looks like you are having some problems at the opening of documents stored in iCloud drive. If you do not already done, please go to iCloud.com and connect see if you are able to open the files there. If you are able to open the documents there, the next step would be to start the MacBook Pro in Mode safe and see if you can open documents from your iCloud drive it. A time tested, and then restart the MacBook Pro and try to access the iCloud drive as you normally would.

  See you soon!
