When Apple released iCloud Drive, the service was more of an addition to other services than an actual standalone app, but that’s all going to change with this year’s iteration of Apple’s operating systems. According to 9to5Mac, there’s going to be a hidden iCloud Drive app in iOS 9 that you can toggle. Once activated, you’ll be able to use it in much the same way that you’d use Dropbox or Google Drive.

As a consumer hardware and software company, Apple has always tried to show users functionality on a need-to-know basis. Sometimes that means hiding functions from view so that everything “just works” without user intervention. But Apple is changing that course with iCloud Drive, its cloud storage service, released last year with iOS 8 and Mac OS 10.10. 9to5Mac reports on an iCloud Drive app hidden inside the iOS 9 beta. Not visible by default, you can bring iCloud Drive into view with a simple toggle and then view and manage the files you have stored in it just like you would with Dropbox or Google Drive. It will appear as an app icon on your phone alongside your other apps. The setting for enabling the app resides in Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive. Just toggle on the Show on Home Screen setting and the app lets you view and manage all your stored files.
