I've really enjoyed using iCloud and having all of my documents and photos consolidated in one software. Overall, I am very pleased with my experience with iCloud.
iCloud makes it seamless to synchronize photos, documents, and contacts across multiple devices, such as iPhones, iPads, Macbooks, and Apple watches. It is very convenient for keeping track of photos and documents and securing them in different places. iCloud makes it easy to access everything and has great security features as well.
I wish iCloud had the option to sync with other cloud software, such as Google Drive and Amazon Photos.

It is easy to use. As you might already know, iCloud comes with all iOS devices. Thus, no setup is needed. You can also access it from any Apple device and as well over a desktop. It's nice to have that integration.
The basic package only comes with 5 gigabytes which are really not enough. I also don't like that Apple locks iMessage and other apps (such as WhatsApp) to only sync with iMessage. Cloud storage is honestly so cheap nowadays (for instance, Amazon Photo is FREE with Amazon Prime or OneDrive being only $2.99 for 100 gigabytes), that it seems absurd for what iCloud is charging. I cannot justify paying what Apple is asking for just for me to sync my iMessage.

I have been using free space that Apple offers. It is very convenient to synchronize data across all your iDevices.
I am not convinced that it is worthwhile to pay Apple for extra iCloud space since there are apps like Amazon Prime that offers unlimited free photo storage. For someone who subscribes to Prime anyway it makes much more sense.

At a time when I exclusively worked with Apple products, having a iMac, iPad and iPhone, iCloud was the definitve solution for document backup. I could work seamsless between all the devices depending on where I was working and this made me feel like the Cloud was a unifying experience. All your files follow you wherever you go no matter what device you use. It is probably the best Cloud experience you can get, and has been since its very inception.
iCloud is de facto the best solution for Apple product owners. Its integration with iOS is pretty much flawless and users can enjoy peace of mind when it comes to personal file backups. It's even accessible from a browser making it compatible (in a way) with other operating systems. On Mac computers, its integration is also seamless and renders the process of backup look like saving on the computer itself.
It has its limitations though. Where other user-end backup services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon storage and more can store any file type, iCloud is pretty much limited to Apple-only documents. It works perfect for Apple-centric users but is less ideal if you have for example a iPhone and a Windows computer.
