Accessing iCloud On Android

First, make sure you have your documents already uploaded to iCloud so that you can access them using your Android device.

Then, download and install Photon Flash Player & Browser on your Android device. Next, open the browser and tap on the Settings logo to bring down a menu (see 1). Look for the User Agent option under the Browser section; tap on it (see 2).

Choose Safari as the browser user agent.
