![]() I have to go searching through different applications to find things, and I’d better be neurotically tidy about file naming conventions or I’m sunk. With a normal folder or a cloud-based folder from another provider I can toss all three files into one “Project” folder that is intuitively named and easy to find. Let’s say I’m creating a project - for my own business, for a consulting client, for one of my kids - and that project includes a spreadsheet for expenses, a word-processing document for all my notes and a deck of slides about the project. Where is the total view of all my files? What if I want to group files from different programs into one folder? While it’s nice to have the “Find My iPhone” app here as well as access to webmail, when it comes to the files I might have in Pages, Numbers and Keynote this is terrible. If you finally figure out how to get to the iCloud web page - which is the only place you can see a high-level view of the contents of your iCloud - it looks like this: Reason #2: Once you get there, you aren’t really there. This is easy to do and standard in the industry (see Dropbox, Google Drive and just about every other cloud storage option). Not at the browser level– at the OS level. But I might not want to open the application or a new browser tab to manipulate a file.Īll I want is a shortcut in the upper toolbar right next to the ones for Dropbox, Evernote and the like. Reason #1: You can’t get there from anywhere intuitive or convenient.Īpple insists that you access your iCloud files either through the application or through a browser. I’m an Apple user and ordinarily a happy one, but iCloud is an abject failure.
