So I have a question how does one access iCloud and Windows? I can access it just fine on my phone, and on my Mac? But I’ve never been able to get it to work in Windows. Any thoughts? Sincerely Maurice Mines. Amateur callsign kd0iko. VP national Federation of the blind of California

You know, I was thinking about that. I bet that we orient ourselves to the watch differently. I had a braille watch for years, so I orient myself to the Apple Watch as though it were an analog clock face, that is, with the number 12 just above the watch buttons on the front. But if I didn't

Hi, It kind of depends on the file how easy it is to share in iCloud. Specifically, you are correct in that right-clicking to share any file is not supported in iCloud Drive, but if you're using Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Notes or a number of other Apple and third party services, these can be

Hello Donna. Google Drive and Dropbox have easy ways to share links to files. In Dropbox, you right-click on the file, hit the Applications key/ Shift F10 in Windows and probably Vo Shift M on the Mac. After you bring up the context menu, there is an option to copy link. I didn’t remember
