The way of moving documents from Mac to iCloud

The iphone or iPad as with so many apple products these days are just fancy packaging. People really wanted to move a spreadsheet onto their iphone or iPad and then use them to take inventory at work. Sadly the process involved to make that happen is so convoluted that people would be far better off buying a windows tablet or cheap laptop. The iphone or iPad are not tools for anything other than entertainment. It amazes people that the controls for so many apple products can be so intuitive at the interface level but when you get in depth it gets so convoluted and difficult to do things that should be simple. As with anything, only apps and document management software that support iCloud integration will work with this. For this example, we'll be moving a document from Pages that's stored on the hard drive, to iCloud. Pages supports iCloud on both Mac and iOS.

1.Open the document that's currently saved to the hard drive of your Mac that you'd like to move to iCloud. In our example, we'll move a regular Pages file.

2.In Apple's default apps, click on the On My Mac tab in the upper left hand corner to navigate to the document if you haven't already found it and launched it manually.

 

3.Once you have the document or file open, hover over the title of the document at the top until you see a little drop down symbol appear next to it. Click on the drop down arrow to the right of the title.

4.Now choose the Move to iCloud option.

5.You'll be ask to confirm that you'd like to move the document to iCloud. Just confirm.

That's all there is to it. The document you've moved will now be available cross-platform in their respective apps. While this isn't a perfect solution, it works for now. One of our iOS 7 wants is a much needed file management system across all devices, iOS and Mac. Until then, this should help ease some of the pain when it comes to dealing with older documents.
