iCloud, iWork for iOS

How is using iCloud with my iWork for iOS apps different from using iWork.com Public Beta?

  • iCloud automatically stores your iWork for iOS documents and keeps them up to date across all your iOS devices and on icloud.com/iwork. You can easily move your iWork documents between your iOS device and your computer by using www.icloud.com/iwork

  • iWork.com Public Beta lets you securely share your documents from your iWork for iOS apps with others, whether they use a Mac, PC or iOS device. Documents you share on iwork.com can be viewed in a modern web browser, and invited viewers can add comments and document notes. 
 

How can I access documents on my iOS device on my computer?

On a Mac or PC, you can download your iWork for iOS documents in iWork ’09, Microsoft Office, or PDF format (at cloud.com/iwork). You can also upload your iWork ’09 or Microsoft Office documents from your Mac or PC by dragging and dropping them to icloud.com/iwork; the documents will automatically appear on your iOS devices you've set up with iCloud.   

Note: You cannot download a document from icloud.com to to your Mac or Windows computer until the document has been previously opened on an iOS device.

  

Are changes I make to iWork documents on my iOS device automatically made available on my other mobile devices and computer?

Once you set-up iCloud on your mobile devices, the changes you make to iWork documents on one device are automatically made available on your other mobile devices. For the changes to appear on your computer, you must manually download the updated document(s) from icloud.com/iwork. The reverse is also true: for changes made to iWork documents on your computer to appear on your iOS device, you must upload the updated document(s) to icloud.com/iwork using your computer’s web browser.

 

What web-browsers work best with icloud.com/iwork?

icloud.com works best with Safari 5 (or later), Firefox 5 (or later), Chrome 12 (or later), and Internet Explorer 8 (or later).

Note: See iCloud: About the iCloud Web App Plugin for Internet Explorer for more information on using Internet Explorer with iCloud.

 

What does using iCloud to store iWork documents cost?

Your iCloud account includes 5 GB of free storage for Mail, Documents, and your iCloud Backup. Note: Your purchased music, apps, books, TV shows, as well as your Photo Stream do not count against your 5 GB of free storage.

You can manage or buy more iCloud Storage space from any device.
