Apple is gearing to release a new operating system for Macs later this fall. The operating system called Yosemite, named after the national park, aims to make sharing files among iPads and iPhones, which function on a different iOS software, a lot easier.

CEO Tim Cook introduced the new system during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Tuesday, June 2 in San Francisco. Some of the new features include a revamped version of iCloud, now called iCloud Drive, allows users to access and see files on iOS and Microsoft devices.

"Our operating systems, devices and services all work together in harmony. They provide an integrated and continuous experience across all of our products," Cook said finishing his keynote address.

Apple is also getting into the "dropbox" action by unveiling Maildrop, a feature that allows you to send e-mails up to five gigabytes through iCloud.

"These days we so often want to send large attachments whether its videos or large sets of photos. We end up hitting a message saying our email recipient's mail server can't take those large attachments. With Maildrop, instead of your message bouncing off your recipient's mail server, you can elect to have the attachment sent encrypted through iCloud…up to 5 gigs in size."

Other "Yosemite" features include a health management app called "HealthKit," that allows users to track and record vital health signs such as weight or blood and Mac's Safari web browser will include more privacy settings and controls.
