Wow so it is.....when I first tried it (post iOS 8) it wouldn't open Pages and Numbers docs....it does now.

EDIT. Put a hold on the above. I had some Pages and Numbers files in my Readdle Documents folder, and they opened, which they didn't before. So I added a new folder of PDF, Numbers and Pages docs to my Readdle Documents folder (using my Mac). The new folder shows up on the phone, but only the PDFs appear to be present??

After much experimenting and confusion with the Readdles apps I decided I would delete all my test files from my iCloud Drive and start all over.

First tried to delete the files from my phone and the app hung so I quit it. Then decided I would uninstall the apps completely from the phone, and also deleted the Readdles folders on my iCloud Drive using my Mac.

But they keep being recreated!....I don't like this!

Tried deleting them from iCloud.com, but the delete button is greyed out.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I think I have succeeded in deleting the Readdle folders by turning off iCloud Drive on macs and iPhone for couple of hours. After turning it back on they are not showing in my iCloud Drive. However they are still showing on in iCloud Drive on Cloud.com, but I suspect they will not reappear on the Macs until I send a Readdle doc from the iPhone to iCloud Drive.
Doesn't seem to be any way of deleting them from cloud.com

will this let you have access to photos? I want to put photos taken with my camera into icloud photos and view them on ios devices. seems impossible without annoying work around like dropbox that only let you download one photo at a time.
 
I downloaded the app and when I click on grab it shows me the list of folders on icloud drive. However I am unable to click on any folder to open up the files
 
I downloaded your app. It works fine with user created folders, but the defaults are inaccessible, as the poster above me mentioned. Is this expected behavior? Other than that, it's working great.
