Documents (or Docs): Files and information stored in iCloud Drive, as well as data from other apps that aren’t listed above — for example, Notes, Reminders, Health and third-party apps. To learn about apps that can store information in iCloud, see Apps and features that use iCloud.
Others: You may see Others on a device with a smaller screen because there’s not enough room to list all categories. Usually, your three largest storage categories show their accurate category names and the rest of your categories are grouped into Others.
