“iPhone photography fans who use Adobe’s Lightroom application to manage and synchronize their photos across the iPhone, iPad, Mac and other devices will be delighted to learn that the latest updates to Lightroom for iPhone and Lightroom for iPad have enabled the ability to import images in the RAW file format,” Christian Zibreg reports for iDownloadBlog.

I see no reason why Apple did not include RAW import from very beginning, or why it does not offer paid service of cross-platform storing/managing of the giant RAW libraries via iCloud.
iCloud is slow and unreliable and insecure even for relatively small files.
Why would you want to pay more to attempt to manage large files on Apple’s/Google’s/Amazon’s servers?
It might be slow, but I never heard of insecurities on iCloud.
