"Developers cannot work around the choice made when upgrading to iOS 8, so please make sure you pay close attention to the iCloud Drive screen shown after you update to iOS 8." Users may want to postpone installation of the app after its update to iOS 8, one of the major moves in the set up process.

From the main settings menu in iOS, the Yosemite is available and can enable iCloud Drive, just by doing some easy steps like -> iCloud-> iCloud Drive. At this stage, the concrete syncing process may take a while; Apple will have to transfer the files to new servers.

Fletcher added, "In our testing, the iCloud Drive migration has taken anything from a few seconds to up to an hour. This is something that Apple controls, and given the large number of users upgrading to iCloud Drive there may be a short delay while everything gets migrated on Apple's part. "
