By FonePaw | Nov 26 , 2015

However, iOS 8 didn't come with a dedicated iCloud Drive app so users could only access to iCloud files through specific apps that supported iCloud Drive. Luckily, iOS 9 offers a new iCloud Drive app that let you browse, view and manage all the files stored in your account.If you've been dying for an iCloud Drive app on your iPhone or iPad, here's how to enable it in iOS 9.
