Connecting to iWork Applications on a PC via iCloud (Web Based)

Opening iCloud Drive in Your Browser for the First Time

You’ll first need to navigate to iCloud. To do so, click the following link (https://www.icloud.com/) or type it into your browser.

Log in with your Apple ID and password.

Once you’ve logged into your iCloud account, you will find the iWork applications: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Choose which you would like to open.

At this time, you may be asked to upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive. You will have to do so before you are able begin using your iWork applications online. Please keep in mind though the warning denoted on the page: “If you upgrade, you won’t be able to access documents in iCloud from devices with iOS7 or OS X  Mavericks. You’ll need to install iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite.” Below that warning, you will see a list of your devices that will NOT be able to access your files through iCloud Drive. If none are listed, go ahead and click “Upgrade to iCloud Drive.” If critical devices are present in the list, you may want to consider upgrading them to the latest OS specific to the device. Otherwise, if you click “Not Now,” you will be returned to the list of applications.

Once you choose to complete the upgrade, the installation is relatively quick. When it finishes, you will automatically be taken to home page of the application of your choosing.
