I've installed iCloud on my PC and can see and access my files successfully. But... (always a 'but'), there appears to be a delay on that file being updated? If I edit a file on my iPad and then open that same file on my PC, via iCloud, the edit isn't there. &nbsp;If I then edit that same file on my PC and open it in the iPad that edit isn't there either. After a few minutes a couple of 'Conflict copies' of the file appear with the edits. <br />
<br />
So my guess / question is: I'm not in fact editing the file directly but it's creating a copy of sorts, then after I save that copy it has to work it's way through the core of Apple and replace/update the file, there is a time delay to this and that throws up the conflict copies as it lands back in the iCloud folder (Trust Apple to make it difficult)! The answer to my next question is that the delay between copying / overwriting that file can depend on how busy the servers are .... might be a few seconds, might be a few minutes ?!...<br />
<br />
I'm I right ?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Delay in iCloud file sync ?

iPad is an iOS-based line of tablet computers built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models. An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions – games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc. – can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.

iPad

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
