Apple has brought a dedicated iCloud Drive file browser app to iOS 9.
The app needs to be unhidden manually from the iCloud Settings menu. It lets you browse through the files you have stored in iCloud Drive, open files, delete files, move files, and share files via the iOS share sheet.
This app makes iCloud Drive a more viable replacement to Dropbox, letting users easily access their files on the go.
Take a look at some screenshots below and please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for more updates on iOS 9. You may also want to check out the official iOS 9 announcement here.

No. It's copying Google Drive. Google has provided an app for their cloud solution for awhile. And now Apple is following suit. Because Apple likes to copy.

iCloud Drive is Apple apps made by them that allows data on one device to automatically be pushed to another device whatever it uploaded. With google drive, you specify where the files go to.

So you don't know what Google drive is do you? Icloud is the same thing as google drive. It allows access to your files in the cloud. Anywhere.

I clearly just said what it does and how it's accessed. What really sets both apart whether data accessed on any device automatically or not, is that google drive is within sites, iCloud is accessed on games and apps.
