iCloud vs Google Cloud Comparison

1. Reliable and secure cloud storage 2. Auto sync with apple devices 3. Good amount of free usage 4. Great integrations with Apple devices 5. Can be accessed from any device

1. Less free cloud usage than Google cloud 2. Only works with Apple devices so not universally accessed from all devices

I like iCloud since this service gives me the opportunity to save and sync files such as images. photos, documents, videos, contacts, books, audiobooks, and the best of all is that they are in a safe place, the best thing about iCloud is that it syncs very well with all apple devices and has one of the best securities compared to other cloud storage services.

I don't like that they only give 5 GB of free cloud memory, since google drive give 3 times more cloud storage.

Its sync feature is extraordinary. Its ability to secure the data makes it different from other platforms

It's a bit costly if buy more storage. For me, it is not a problem.

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 has a cheap cost per month to store up to 50gb which is usually all I need. This allows me to store all of my pics and documents within one space but on each of my devices.

I wish there was a segway between the 50gb and the next option up. Google cloud offers more versatile pricing options.

obviously extremely well integrated with the Apple ecosystem making it really easy to use on IOS and other mac platform.

compared to other cloud services, I find iCloud to lack features compared to dropbox, and google cloud. Works well for sharing photos but when it comes to documents and other type of digital assets previewing and sharing is not on par.

15 GB storage is free for iPhone users. Syncing speeds are very fast when compared to google cloud.

You need an Apple product to access the iCloud storage.

- Images and documents are uploaded automatically - Billing is hassle-free - Easy to install

I don't know what else you get out of this other than additional storage; seems like a money grab to me that is captive to Apple users due to ease of use. What's different between this and Google Cloud or any other cloud service?

The synchronization capability is quite advanced and I can provide almost simultaneous file management for all devices.It's also pretty good at switching devices. The filing system, local and private backups do not mix, management is quite successful.It is one of the best applications that makes you forget to use it but continues to work.

More beautiful and user-friendly options can be added in terms of settings and customizations.

very easy to use, its already on the iphone

you cant share your cloud with other peoples cloud

I Cloud has been a great tool for us to use in our non profit organization. Utilizing this software is quite easy and makes it simple to have the majority of our files and documents wherever we may be. It is also very easy to navigate.

The only downside to using this is that it is Apple-centric. If someone is not an Apple user, or on an Apple device, it can be a little tougher to access the material.

iCloud has been around for 10+ years by now and has been a huge staple for most Apple users from iPhone, iPad and Mac computers. It is a great resource with simple tools to grab anything from the cloud on any Apple device or devices signed into an Apple account.

It is free, but for higher storage capacities it can be a bit unreasonably upscaled in price compared to other similar cloud systems like Google. Granted, iCloud paved the way for the rest more or less.

The main pro about iCloud, along with most cloud services is the access to my files. With my Apple ID, I can access my cloud storage from any computer, anywhere in the world. The functionality of iCloud is made even better when interacting with other Apple devices owned by the same person. Accessing files between your owned Apple devices is seamless and only done faster when using AirDropping.

While the functionality serves its purpose, the only con is accessing your files from a web browser. The service works, but it is not as intuitive or easy as doing so from your owned devices.

I swapped from android to Iphone, and i have both cloud, icloud and google drive and i use them for different approaches, Icloud for pictures and drive for the rest (documents...)

Easy to use and setup, fast and affordable

It synchronizes real time, like automatically saves your docs, pictures and videos on your cloud storage. Easy access.

The cloud storage isn't enough. If you want to have more cloud storage, you would need to buy and it is costly for me.

The software is user-friendly in such a way that you can also find it on a mobile phone and even computer for use

They should add an offline access to the cloud , users should be able to use the cloud even when they don't have internet access

Back up to cloud works well. The cloud appears secure.

Sometimes devices don't sync with the cloud and it's impossible to find out why. Then after a day or so sync occurs.

Since iCloud is made by apple, it is naturally built into all Apple devices. As someone who is already deeply in the Apple ecosystem, not having to set up a 3rd party piece of software makes storage quick and simple. I can navigate my iCloud through my finder windows on my Mac to easy, fine, restore, download, or upload files.It also makes sharing with other Apple users very easy. A simple collaboration link sent to a client allows specific folders to instantly be viewable and editable in their finder windows as well, which can streamline workflow and file transfer without needing to go to a web browser.Additionally, having iCloud back up my desktop and laptop ensures I always have access to everything I need when I am travelling.

Unfortunately I still require the use of other Cloud Storage systems, as many clients still view iCloud as more of a "Person" cloud storage device for things like photos and documents from their iPhones. Many clients are still using things like Google Drive and DropBox simply because they've always used that for "business".I think a shift in presentation may be required if iCloud wants to take over more as a business solution.

Optimization process. Syncing my media to the cloud re-downloading them quickly when I need that is so seamless.

It's the best cloud storage Ithat I could ever ask for. It's not just uploading files to the cloud, the process management is very accurate and helpful

I like that the cloud automatically backs up my contacts, photos, and saved worked within apps without daily maintenance from me.

Sometimes the cloud doesn't back up frequently enough and I have lost some photos or some documents that weren't backed up before loss of a device.

It comes with your iPhone and is easy to set up. Then your photos, contacts etc automatically back up to the cloud. You get some reasonable amount of space for free.

Backup reminders can be annoying. When you run out of free cloud storage space, which is inevitable, it isn't super clear how to remedy that situation (e.g. delete your photos from cloud storage). I think they just want you to pay to increase your available cloud storage.

Easy integration across Apple devices, everything you select gets automatically saved to the cloud

Limited free cloud space, expensive monthly plans and cheaper alternatives

The ICloud app is really really useful. User friendly and so easy to use.

Not much cause this is the best cloud storage app :)

I love that I don't have to worry about where all my photos and data is stored

Accessing the cloud when I change devices can be difficult

That you can share documents and pull them up from anywhere. The use of mobile access.

The cloud gets full quickly and then won't send things

It's like iCloud and it is completely for free.

I don't like that it does not sync up with my iTunes or other Mac stuff.

Comparable to icloud, however, it is easier to use if you are a frequent Windows user.

The concept of the cloud took a while to understand and there are many competitors in the space like Amazon Web Services.

I like the fact that It's easy to transfer my files to another device. You can purchase storage for as little as .99 cents. I use the archive storage which saves my files for a whole year! So even though I switched to Icloud by Apple, I still have important files thats connected to my google account that i dont have on icloud.

I just like I cloud better than google cloud

I enjoy being able to have easy collaboration with other coworkers and colleagues. Being able to control the permissions of others is great. The real time synchronization is also wonderful.

Sometimes it can be difficult to find certain files without knowing a case specific example of the documents.

I like that I can put items in the cloud and access them regardless of device or location. This allows me to easily share documents with myself across settings and others as well.

I prefer the visual look of other services like icloud or dropbox for organizing documents. This is a personal preference and doesn't speak to the functionality of this tool.

I love that it backs up everything into the cloud so that of you lose your phone per say, your contacts are still there. Everything from your Google account is saved in the cloud from pictures to contacts. This is very helpful especially if the phone is stolen...

I feel there room for improvement but I been it's a beat program and is very under rated. It's just as good as Apple iPhone cloud. It does everything that the iCloud does.

Services are fine and I have not had an issue, however, iCloud works way better. Google Cloud is easy to use but now their free tier ended and now you have to pay. I would use it more if it stay free but it is not worth paying for it.

You have to download extra software when using an Apple product.
