HOW TO Master iCloud Drive on your Mac

1 Easy access The fastest way to iCloud Drive in Finder is by pressing ß+ç+I (the shortcut for Go > iCloud Drive). If a Finder window’s open, you can access iCloud Drive from its sidebar, provided that shortcut is enabled in the Sidebar tab in Finder’s preferences.

2 iCloud in apps When opening files from within an app, you can select iCloud Drive from the Open dialog’s sidebar. iCloud Drive locations are also in the [places?] popup menu. Similarly, in Save dialogs, you can save your documents to an app’s iCloud Drive folder.

3 File management In Finder, you can drag and drop files between iCloud Drive folders, but be mindful of apps that expect their docs to stay in the app‘s own folder, especially when working across macOS and iOS. Within an app, File > Move To lets you move the current document.
