iCloud drive is a useful feature where users can store files on iCloud and also they can have access to retrieve or edit from any other Mac or iOS device using the same account ID. While iOS has long been able to save files to iCloud, the latest versions of iOS now allow for iCloud Drive to appear as an icon on the Home Screen of devices, thereby enabling a user accessible file system of sorts on the iOS devices like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
From iCloud drive users can browse files and open them directly from iCloud and any changes made on one device will sync with others accessing that same file from iCloud drive whether they’re on iOS or OS X. Here in this post let us discuss about how to show iCloud Drive icon on Home screen of iOS devices by following the steps given below :
- Initially open the settings app on your iCloud.
- Locate iCloud Drive in the list, and toggle the switch for iCloud Drive to the ON position.
- Next navigate Show on Home Screen and turn that to the ON position.
- Exit out of Settings and you’ll find the iCloud Drive icon on the Home Screen of iOS.
iCloud Drive as an application really behaves like a simple user file system for iOS, where you can search files, then open, view, and edit files directly from the app into a compatible application as well. You can also use iCloud Drive to view pictures and media that are stored in iCloud on any device using the same Apple ID.
