Synchronizing Mac Pages Documents with iPad
If you’re one of those people who likes to work from a Mac and then continue on the iPad on the way to work or consult that document there’s a way to synchronise both devices very easily . To do this, you need to set up your iCloud Drive account, which we show you below.
With iCloud Drive, you can have all the documents you create in iWork stored in the cloud and automatically synchronized and updated on the various devices. With this service , you can store your Pages documents and access them from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac easily by going to iCloud.com, but it also works for spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, and other file types.
When installing iOS 8 on the iPad or OS X Yosemite on your Mac, you will be prompted to upgrade your account to iCloud Drive . You’ll also be prompted to update your account by opening Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on iCloud.com.
