Windows 10: Accessing files on iCloud

I have tried to copy files from my laptop to iCloud so that I can work on them from my Notepad, which is registered with iCloud under the same name. However the files do not show - they are only accessible from the laptop. They are not marked hidden, or read only. How do I access them?

Hijack iCloud integration to access to CalDav server.

I have just got a Windows Phone (Lumia 630, WP8.1).

I need to access a 3rd party CalDav server, but it seems that there is no generic CalDav support.

However, a bit of searching suggests that setting up iCloud integration and then changing the address of the CalDav server to point to the one that you want should work.

So I...

• Set up iCloud integration.
• Checked that calendar integration worked both ways.
• Changed the CalDav server address to point to 3rd party CalDav server.

This half works:

• I can create an event on the phone, and it get's written successfully to the calendar on the server.
• But I can't see any events (including the one I just created) from the phone.

Has anyone got this approach to work successfully, or have any suggestions as to what to do to get it all working?

 

iCloud For Windows To Show Up on This Computer (Windows Explorer)

Hi Chris,

iCloud will not automatically be added to your Quick Access panel in File Explorer. But, you can definitely have it shown on your computer. Kindly follow the steps provided below:

• By default, your iCloud Drive folder will be in your main User folder. For example, in C:/Users/User1/iCloud Drive.
  
• Navigate to the director's location in File Explorer.
• Find the folder "iCloud Drive" and right click on it.
• Select "Pin to Quick Access" to have a shortcut permanently in the left-hand pane in File Explorer as seen in the image above.
