I am trying to view My Documents from my iPhone 14 plus but iCloud will not upload the folder.
Is there a secure waxy to get this done. I don't use OneDrive. And sharing was not good.
Thank you

I don't use OneDrive.

I don't either but even if you don't use Onedrive to backup your computer, you have a onedrive account if you have an account using any Microsoft domain(outlook.com, hotmail.com,etc) Download onedrive app to phone, upload any file from phone you want to onedrive. Go to onedrive on the web, sign in, download files to PC. I do it all the time using my ipad. When you've downloaded the file you want, delete it from onedrive on the web.

To view the Documents folder:

Microsoft renamed RDP (Remote desktop) and improved it 100%. It is now called “Windows” (link to the app at the bottom)

This app will give you a remote desktop connection to your PC. As it isn’t clear exactly what you want to do, I thought I would mention it.\

The closest I can assume is that you want to upload your Documents folder to iCloud? You haven’t specified.

To upload a Windows documents folder to iCloud, you can:

  1. Open File Explorer or Windows Explorer on your Windows computer
  2. Click iCloud Drive in the Navigation pane (Obviously iCloud Drive must be installed on your PC)
  3. Drag files to iCloud Drive

As the new Windows App gives you access to your Windows OS, this could be performed (at home) via your phone, but it would seem pointless as you’re near your PC anyway.
I don’t yet know how to access my PC via the Windows app on my iPhone when I am away from home, I haven’t looked into it.

    …still on a horse.
Thank you all for your help. I did settle on using I cloud so I can view it on my phone. As time goes by I'm sure there'll be a more advanced option to facilitate this. I never use OneDrive.
