As early as may last year, Apple had predicted to integrate icloud "manuscript and data services" into icloud cloud disk a year later. As a product of the company, it allows users to process relevant documents on designated devices at will On Friday, the Cupertino technology giant officially announced in a supporting document that users who used to realize cross device file synchronization through icloud "manuscript and data" service should also move and turn on the "icloud cloud disk" function to view their files.

Apple wrote in the support document: the company's old "icloud documents and data" document synchronization service has been disabled and replaced by "icloud drive".
For those who are not familiar with the migration operation, please note to enable icloud [cloud disk] first( https://promotion.aliyun.com/ntms/yunparter/invite.html?userCode=p0hfitud ) In order to view relevant documents smoothly. At the same time, the storage space occupation in icloud will not change.
In addition, apple mentioned IOS / Mac devices and icloud in its support documents According to the cloud disk description and minimum system requirements on COM network, the vast majority of icloud users have enabled the cloud disk function, so the service migration process will be quite seamless.
As for these users who have created icloud accounts before 2014 (the launch of icloud drive service), but have never been enabled, perhaps in order to take care of the compatibility with old devices before IOS 8 / OS X Yosemite that do not support network disk, Apple will still force them to restart to obtain access to relevant files.
Earlier icloud document and data services will save the cloud synchronization data in the folder of a specific application, and only allow access to the data through the application.
With icloud cloud disk becoming a more comprehensive synchronization service, all these files can now be accessed in one place - IOS / iPad File application on OS, icloud cloud disk in MacOS finder, or this section on the web side.
