“What I love about iCloud is that it allows me to gather photos, documents and other stuff across all the device switches.”

Ruel M.

Audiovisual Engineer

Pros

“I love how easy Cloudinary makes it to upload and display images and videos on a website with a few API calls — the optimization features alone blew my website’s load times in half, with lightning-fast delivery over a CDN.”
EG

Eleandro G.

Software Developer

“The system is useful to us to store large amounts of images that are uploaded and saved to Cloudinary via API, which is a HUGE benefit for the software service that employs me. If I could give 10 stars I would”

Katy M.

CMO

“You can resize, crop, add effects, change formats, and apply other transformations via simple URL-based APIs.”

Ahmed K.

Freelancer

Cons

“I also found that iCloud could sometimes be confusing when managing storage, understanding what was actually stored in the cloud versus locally on a device, or troubleshooting synchronization issues. While the overall integration with Apple devices was convenient, the experience could be less straightforward when something wasn't syncing correctly.”

Kamal H.

Clinical Psychologist

“Occasionally a file takes longer to sync when someone's out in a facility with weak signal, but that's more the building than the platform.”
KK

Keith K.

Field Operations Manager

“Storage space on the free plan is limited, and upgrading storage can become expensive over time compared to some competitors.”
SP

Sonu P.

Systems Analyst

Cons

“Nothing that I can think of other than having to pay for a small amount of storage space.”

Lindsay M.

Owner

“Limited customer support”

“Cloudinary's documentation is loaded with content, but not well organized and can be difficult to find what you are looking for.”
