automatoricloudservices
Since Mavericks, Automator is now able to store services (.workflow) in iCloud.
The problem is that services are not available in the Services menu or contextual menu (right-click) when I store them that way.
Am I missing something? I don't see the point of iCloud for Automator if I have to duplicate the services to ~/Library/Services in order to use them.
You may want to try Services Manager.app:
Download the application and put it into your /Applications folder (or any other convenient place). After you started it you can configure each service to appear in the Services menu (by enabling it in the Active column), in the Context Menu (by enabling it in the Context Menu) or in both.
You could try running "Disk Utility.app", manually, and try to do the following:
If that doesn't work, you could try to narrow it down by starting from another volume with a different copy of the System Software.
That's worth a try I think.

You can save services anywhere, not just iCloud or the correct Service location. Because of this, I used to save services in my Dropbox and symlink them on multiple Macs. With the advent of iCloud, I use this instead, saving my services in iCloud then symlinking them on multiple machines.
Also, iCloud in Automator is not just for services — it'll sync all the Automator files, including workflows and applications.
