    It works across all Mac OS device, iOS, and PCs too.

    And we're releasing APIs so it's easy to tie your apps into iCloud storage system. Apps like pages, for documents. We also have another facility for key value data.

    The piece we want to be finished with is how we move things around. Documents in the cloud saves things to iFile, and it updates automatically.

    When you try to teach someone how to use a mac, the difficulties begin with the file system. So for iOS device we made it so you never think about it.

    A lot of us have been working for 10 years to get rid of the file system
