Need Just the Swift 3 Framework

Thanks for your comment, Richard. Yes, heaven forbid they implement everything needed. I'm in this predicament precisely because I used a third-party tool (Dropbox). We all expect processes to be deprecated over time, but in this case they are disconnecting the API completely. I find that very troubling.

The cloud store needs of my apps are simple file storage. In a couple of hours yesterday, I used the Apple tools you denigrate to build an equivalent function to use iCloud for storage. It will be much easier for me to convert users.
