The save dialog box lets you choose a location on iCloud or your local drive. When the process works, it’s nothing short of magical. I was able to open them and edit them, and the edits showed up almost immediately on my iPad, too. When I first opened Pages on my Mountain Lion-powered Mac, I was greeted with a collection of documents I didn’t expect to see-they were all items I had created over the past year on my iPad using Pages. (Holding down the Option key while dragging does what you’d expect, too-it copies the file instead of moving it.)

If you want to move a file from iCloud to your Mac, you just drag it out. If you want to move a file from the Finder into iCloud, you can simply drag it into the window and it’ll be moved. In either view, you can drag one file on top of another in order to make a new folder. By default, this icon-based view shows icons sorted with the recently modified files at the top, though you can also switch to a list view and sort by name, date, or size. But the iCloud option reveals something quite different: a view of all that app’s documents that are stored in iCloud.
