You can also drag files and folders out of this window, or from one application’s domain into another application’s domain. You can create folders, and rename files and folders, in Cloud Mate’s window, and you can drag files and folders from the Finder into it. The Cloud Mate window’s sidebar lists your iCloud-enabled applications, and you can view only one application’s documents at a time but at least the window is somewhat Finder-like. It does this in two ways.Ĭloud Mate’s first way of showing you your iCloud documents is through its own window. The promise of the Cloud Mate utility, from Red When Excited, is to make your access to iCloud documents more like your access to Dropbox documents. And is this view of your iCloud documents, even if you can be bothered to arrange to see it, of any real use? It might be more of an invitation to damage something. The Library folder is normally invisible (though you can fix that see “ Dealing with Lion’s Hidden Library,” 20 July 2011), and theįinder insists on titling the Mobile Documents folder’s window as “iCloud”. The Finder, however, fights quite hard to prevent you from seeing what’s really going on here. They are stored in your Library folder, in a subfolder called Mobile Documents. With some difficulty, and if you’re willing to play the role of Power User, you can see your iCloud documents in the Finder’s folder hierarchy, if you really want to. I shouldn’t have to launch (say) TextEdit, let alone choose File > Open within it, just to see my TextEdit documents, merely because they happen to be mirrored into the cloud! And there’s no reason why my iCloud documents should be tied to a single application in the first place, especially seeing as the division is arbitrary: a document kept in, say, TextEdit’s cloud folder doesn’t have to be a TextEdit They aren’t usually visible in the Finder at all! Instead, you see them only in a peculiar, substandard, iOS-like Open dialog, and only within one particular application. In contrast, iCloud documents maintained as Documents in the Cloud are shown in a totally different way. Simple, obvious, direct, and easy to use. My Dropbox folder is, happily, just an ordinary folder in the Finder, giving me direct Finder access to a central repository holding everything I’m keeping in the cloud through Dropbox. The reason, I think, is that Apple’s interface to iCloud is so poor, especially on the desktop with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and especially in comparison to Dropbox’s interface.
