Thank you so much!! So long story short if you want to add things to your drive make sure you go to your settings and make sure that your iCloud drive is turned on(you can search iCloud on settings and then scroll all the way down and you should see it) and then got to photos and pick whatever video or picture and share it to your drive then go to your folder and you’ll see it😉👍🏽

Hi Daniel, I have a problem with syncing iCloud Drive to my iPhone, all documents and photos I put into my iCloud Drive on my Mac are not synced to my iPhone, could you help me ?
Thanks so much for the video. To watch a video stored in iCloud, it is downloaded first and then it can be viewed. But does that mean it is now using storage space on my iPad?
After a recent automatic phone update , when pictures are airdropped to my phone, I get a message that says” Failed to save item. Save to iCloud Drive instead.” I get the same message on my new iPad. How can I fix that? Is that iCloud problem?
Hi, this may be stupid but I need info. Does any file/folder stored on iCloud take storage space locally on the device in addition to cloud storage? If so, how to make the files take only storage on iCloud and not locally?
I enter to files on my iPad and then I pick iCloud Drive but nothing appears and I need to download something from my iCloud and I don’t now how to get those files (videos)
Go to Settings and press that thing at the top with your name and your iCloud and check there You can have no files and if he full because it’s backing up other stuff, like even your iMessage data, mine is 1GB
Yes please help, I have iCloud and pay monthly to hold more data but I have nothing in my files folder. I can make a folder in there but there is no way to add stuff to the folder. I want to see what photos and videos I have saved on my iCloud. Thanks
