Is iCloud drive different from the 5GB of iCloud storage we used to get for free?

If you never use iCloud to sync data and documents, you're fine. If, however, you sync between, say, a Mac and your iPad or an iPad and an iPod Touch, you must enable or disable iCloud Drive on all devices. Put another way, iCloud Drive is not backwards-compatible with anything else. You have to use it on all devices, or none of them. If everything you have is on iOS8 and/or Yosemite (for the Mac) you can enable it on all devices and be just fine. If not, leave it off. I know you said you never use iCloud, but iOS is very good at making background features like data syncing very transparent and unobtrusive, so I wanted to make sure you weren't actually using iCloud and simply didn't realize it.

After updating it asked me if I want to update to iCloud drive. Do I need to do this or just cancel this this? This is being asked me after I updated. I don’t store anything in iCloud.
