iCloud drive works a lot more like a traditional file system where you
can have your own files and folders, every app gets its own folder once
you run it first time as well. Regular iCloud is what you had before and
it's what iOS and OS X used to call documents and data. This older
system is very isolated where an app can only access files that were
saved to iCloud by that app only and other apps can't see those files.
If the only Macs and iOS devices you use run Yosemite and iOS 8, save to
iCloud drive (this also gives you access on Windows), but if you have
any devices that run older OS's than yosemite and iOS 8 then you're only
left with regular iCloud. As far as I know the 2 can coexist on one
apple ID, but they're completely separate (IE if you save a file in an
iWork app on an iPhone that runs iOS 7 and then try to look in iCloud
drive on something newer, it wont show up)

I want to move a numbers spreadsheet off my mac and into iCloud. I select the
file menu item “Move to” and choose other… in the browser that pops up I see
choices for iCloud and for iCloud Drive, in the side table. It seems that
iCloud Drive contains the same folders from iCloud plus several others that
aren’t in iCloud. What’s the diff? and does it matter which I select to store
my spreadsheet, iCloud or iCloud Drive?
