Most mobile data can be saved in cloud storage. For iPhone users, this can be personalized in the Settings app. Things like photos, videos, music, notes, contacts, documents and more can all be saved to a remote server and are protected in the event your device is damaged, lost or stolen. ![]() [Editor's Note: This story was written prior to the, at which Apple execs outlined some upcoming changes to the way iCloud files are displayed in OS X and iOS. But until those changes take effect next fall, the advice below will still pertain.] iCloud serves many purposes these days. (I’d actually say it tries to do too much, but that’s.) One of its main functions is document storage for the iWork suite (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) and other apps. The problem with using iCloud for document storage is that: Once you save a document to iCloud, you can only access it again with the same app, or its sibling, in OS X or iOS. If you have a problem with one of those iCloud apps—it won’t launch, say, or an update broke it—you may not be able to access your files at all. Fortunately, there are other ways to access iCloud documents on your Mac. As long as you have the Documents & Data option checked in the iCloud pane of System Preferences, iCloud copies all the documents stored in your iCloud account to your Mac, so you can work with them offline. If you ever need to access such files, there are several ways to do so. ICloud files from the Finder iCloud files are stored in the folder ~/Library/Mobile Documents. (The tilde symbol is a shortcut for your user folder.) Go to this folder (Finder > Go > Go to Folder), and you’ll see a number of sub-folders, one for each app.
