iWork.com is Going Away. No Direct Path to iCloud for Your Docs
Friday, March 9, 2012 at 4:21PM Apple sent a note to iWork.com users today. They informed us that the iWork.com server was riding into the sunset on July 31st and that we should grab our docs before they evaporate. The goofy thing is, they provide instructions for downloading your documents to your local machine, but no hint about getting them into iCloud.
iWork.com never took off. (Too dissimilar to Dropbox!)
The truth is, there is no easy way to do that. Things went smoothly when I swapped from MobileMe to iCloud. As I recall, it only took a few clicks to move my contacts, calendar, iPhone, iPad and both Macs. The iWork team must be in a different wing in Cupertino. Maybe I'm just spoiled, but I can't understand what the big deal is. Oh yeah, iCloud saves documents using a new format that's unlike any file system on the planet. Apple should really spend some quality time with the Dropbox guys.
