I had connected iCloud using xamarin forms ios. My file copied to icloud without any error. But it saved in file:///private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile%20Documents/iCloud~com~companyname~MobileDoc/ path.

When i checked inside iCloud my file not showing it. But when i search that file, its location shows as iCloud --> MobileDoc--> File.txt. But when i checked inside the iCloud there are no Folder call MobileDoc.

    It seems iCloud does not have a general open file storage facility like MobileMe's iDisk, or Dropbox etc.
    You can only access documents stored in iCloud from within the app that created them.

    Refer https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4251410

    Is that file hidden in your mac ? Try to show them using terminal.

    @ColeX thanks. Now i am going to use UIDocumentPickerViewController and try this upload manually. Its also confusing, Got some erros in Appdelegate folder.

        UIDocumentPickerViewController documentPicker = new UIDocumentPickerViewController(NSUrl.FromFilename(filePath), UIDocumentPickerMode.ExportToService);
           documentPicker.DidPickDocumentAtUrls += (object sender, UIDocumentPickedAtUrlsEventArgs e) =>
           {
               ShowAlert("File Uploaded Successfully");
           };
           documentPicker.DidPickDocument += (object sender, UIDocumentPickedEventArgs e) =>
           {
               ShowAlert("File Uploaded Successfully");
           };
           documentPicker.WasCancelled += (sender, e) =>
           {
               ShowAlert("File Upload Cancelled");
           };
           documentPicker.ModalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.FormSheet;
           (UIApplication.SharedApplication.Delegate as AppDelegate).Window.RootViewController.PresentViewController(documentPicker, true, null);

    My Appdelegate file is public partial But getting error

    Thanks it remove the error. Another thing to know

    UIDocumentPickerViewController documentPicker = new UIDocumentPickerViewController(NSUrl.FromFilename(filePath), UIDocumentPickerMode.ExportToService);

    This NSUrl.FromFilename(filePath) not getting correctly. Can't add only filepath for that.
