Pros and cons

It is very good for backing up your data and from moving your data from one iPhone device to another. The customer service is also a great deal for me and I honestly give them 5 stars for that.
I like that it exists, and it's good to backup important things. I wish they gave you more space for free.
I love how easy it is to connect all things iCloud with my iPhone. I found this especially useful for backing up my devices and sharing photos.
I personally struggled with iCloud, finding my docs once they were uploaded, uploading, I felt like I was missing pieces, I was always concerned about losing things.
My account has been hacket but i can not recover all my phone and... lost it.
Most Apple products specifically require iCloud to function properly, which is difficult due to Apple’s lack of specialized software with no alternate options.

Have all your files backed up

Reviewed 2 years ago

In my job I have to save many files, images and notes, with iCloud I can have access to all my files that I keep on my iPhone and iMac and as I take up space I buy the plan that best suits my needs, and I can access these files From any device with my Apple ID, iCloud is accessible from anywhere and from any Apple device or web browser. In my experience, iCloud has the advantage that it syncs very well across all Apple devices. makes automatic backups so my documents are always up to date.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

One of the best cloud storage service

Reviewed 3 years ago

iCloud is very useful in backing up and storing my files on the cloud space. It help me to clear my phone storage and i only store important file and document on my phone that i usually need it for offline access.

Pros

Using iCloud to saving all my contact information, photo, video, audio and document to the cloud storage is very smooth and effective with this application. It has no file size limitation on how small or big the files that i am uploading to the storage. Changing from my old phone to my new phone is no problem as i can access to my files back as long i am using the same apple id with it.

Cons

Managing the files and emails on this application is quite headache. The searching feature is too slow in showing the result and often, it returned a result that are not matching with the keyword that i have entered. The synchronized process also quite slow and takes some time for it to be shown on the my other device.

I find that iCloud is convenient and easy to use. The ability to store documents and backup important files in real time is extremely relevant in today's busy world.

Cons

What I least like about the iCloud platform is that due to high volumes of data. pictures and other documents I have a hard time freeing up space and that's when you can get ready to pull out your wallet.

Easy and Intuitive

Reviewed 2 years ago

I wanted to move more of my workflow away from Google. I have been very happy with iCloud. I appreciate the clean interface and the more useful search results when looking for documents. The online portal also provides rudimentary versions of Apple's basic office software, access to email, calendaring etc. all in one place.

Pros

It is very easy to navigate, locate and organize files. The layout is very clean and flexible, both through the web view and the native app.

Cons

iCloud naturally wants to group files by their Mac application type rather than prompting to save in a user created folder. Due to the excellent search features, this is not a problem and I am coming to appreciate the logic of this system.

Convenient storage service for Apple users

Reviewed 3 years ago

I use iCloud to store all my photos from my iPhone and documents on my Mac. It makes it really easy to access photos I took on my phone from my Mac and vise versa with documents created on my Mac accessed on my phone. It also provides peace of mind knowing that should anything happen to my phone or Mac my photos and documents will be safe on the cloud. If you use Apple products you should try iCloud, especially if you use more than one Apple product and like accessing files between phone and computer.

Pros

I've used other cloud storage services before but iCloud is my favorite for a few reasons. I use only Apple products so iCloud is extremely convenient. The integration is seamless on iPhone and Mac. You can set it up easily and quickly and access the cloud on any of your Apple products. There is a free option that offers a good amount of cloud storage and the paid option is very reasonable for the amount of storage you get.

Cons

I've encountered a few problems with iCloud like my photos not automatically being added to the cloud and not being able to access documents from my Mac that were stored on the cloud from my phone. Most of the time iCloud runs smoothly but every now and then I experience one of these glitches. Luckily customer service is excellent and they always solve the problem fast.

I really depending on this application to safeguard my online files as the security around this application is quite good and one of the top application for mobile cloud storage.

Pros

I recently need to upgrading my iPhone to a new one, and the iCloud really helping me in transferring all the notes and contact list on my old phone to the new phone. No need to to transferring all of my files to my computer first like the old way. It really saving my time in setting up my new phone.

Cons

I don't like the structure or process when deleting the files on the cloud storage. It will need to be selected manually one by one and no option to deleting it all by bulked. The free storage is quite small compared to other cloud storage software has offered.

Best to storing online data and media

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

I have first introduced to this software freely as i have purchased my iPhone. It has been provided freely but with some limitation on the space that i can use, but can be expanded to have a larger storage space quite cheaply. A user that has multiple Apple product will benefit the most, as it will collecting and synchronize all the data from the Apple device on single storage space.

Cons

It has only one basic option for sharing and sending my files and document on the storage space to others, which is not good for business purpose. I will need a more secure and password protected option when sharing and sending my document, as it containing sensitive information of our business.

iCloud is one of the most reliable cloud storage services available.

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, iCloud is the most complete and reliable cloud storage service that I've used so far.

Pros

One thing that I really like about iCloud is the fact that everything is uploaded and stored automatically and you can have access to any file whenever you need it. The automated file management lets you download the files that already have been uploaded to the cloud at any time!

Cons

Something that bothers me in my experience with iCloud is that sometimes the sync between each device connected to iCloud is not perfect. There have been times that I needed to access files on my iPad and couldn't find them, even though I was logged to the same iCloud account as my primary device, my Macbook Pro.

Important part of Apple products

Reviewed 8 months ago

We managed to transfer our client’s and worker’s data from old to new device very easy. In addition it allows to switch between Apple and MS Windows decides instantly. However, version for MS Windows does not offer full access to all functions.

Pros

iCloud is tightly integrated with apple products, perfectly passable and incredibly convenient for Mac and iPhone users in particular. I get all my pictures, documents, mails and so on on secure and safe place. There are frequently backed up, fast uploaded and accessible anytime from every single device (not even Apple device). iCloud also makes it easy to share photos, documents and more with friends, family, coworkers.

Cons

Documents are able to share only with people who have an Apple ID. Unfortunately, access to data is limited from MS Windows devices and we are not able to access all data, but only the basic ones, which is, on the other hand, mostly fully sufficient. Controlling the entire iCloud is too simple and slow in the MS Windows version. Such a design is too simple and does not meet the requirements of the 21st century.

Great for General Cloud Storage, but as much for iOS Syncing

Reviewed 2 years ago

My overall experience with iCloud has been great, as I have been able to store numerous amounts and types of files using the service, and have then been able to easily and efficiently get a hold of them whenever necessary by using the search/filter option. I also find that sharing files with others directly through the cloud is an efficient process, which is also very convenient when compared to the alternative, which would require the downloading of files and then separate emailing/texting of them. Overall, great service and would definitely recommend.

Pros

What I like best about iCloud is its fantastic ability to store a wide range of files in the cloud, regardless of their format, whether it be a simple text document or a video made by using a complicated external software. I also very much like that the service is free to use if an immense amount of cloud storage is not needed, and that the service is accessible to people who do not even use the iOS software on their primary mobile device and/or tablet. Lastly, I like that iCloud can be accessed using virtually any device that is connected to the internet, whether it be a smartphone, tablet, desktop, or laptop. Overall, it is a great service for anyone looking for decent cloud storage capabilities.

Cons

The one aspect of iCloud that I think can be further worked upon is its ability to sync more information from iOS devices, rather than just the default apps created by Apple such as notes, calendar, photos, etc. In other words, it would be convenient if all, or at least most, of the third party apps on a user's iPhone or iPad can also be synced to the desktop/laptop version of iCloud whenever someone is attempting to access the cloud that way. Other than that one small aspect of the service, I cannot point out anything else that can be considered a con, which is a great thing when considered overall.

Seamless Integration and Easy Sharing

Reviewed 7 months ago

The seamless integration and ease of use are big selling points, and while the storage limitations can be annoying, the added security and sharing capabilities are definitely worth considering.

Pros

I'm pretty happy with I cloud's service. One of the things I love most about it is how seamlessly it integrates with all of my Apple devices. Whether I'm using my iPhone, iPad, or MacBook, my data is always synced and up-to-date. Plus, the user interface is super easy to navigate. Another thing I appreciate about iCloud is the ability to easily share files and data with others.

Cons

The limited amount of free storage can be a real pain, especially if you have a lot of data to store. I've had to upgrade my storage several times, which can add up over time. Additionally, while iCloud can be accessed from a web browser on non-Apple devices, it's not as seamless as it is on Apple devices. And if you're not heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, you may find that iCloud doesn't meet all of your needs.

iCloud is great for storing photos and videos in the Cloud

Reviewed a year ago

My experience with iCloud overall is great while using it to backup all of my photos and videos between my iPhone and MacBook. However, for files and documents, I much prefer to use Google Drive, as it gives much more flexibility.

Pros

I like that iCloud just works seamlessly with Apple products, especially for storing and syncing photos and videos to the cloud automatically with the Photos app. It is also an excellent option for backing up devices such as an iPhone or an iPad. It is easy to use and only takes a minute to set up.

Cons

There is only 5GB of free storage which is significantly less than Google Drive. Also, there is a huge gap between the different paid storage options of 50 GB, 200 GB, or 2 TB with no option in between. iCloud Drive is also not as good for file management as Google Drive. It only lets you sync a copy of your documents to iCloud, rather than being able to move your files completely to the cloud for online storage to save space on your device.

Reviewed a year ago

My overall experience with iCloud it's the easiest coasters that I've ever used all hands down everything else that ever tried don't like it this is the best one that I discovered and I use on a daily basis.

Pros

Well the pros of this software it's very easy to use I didn't find any issues with it. You are going to like this software because the cloud is very unique than other clouds it's made by Apple and Apple is very unique of its own kind. Easy to navigate easy to set up easy to separate your files all together straightforward.

Cons

Well I could tell you didn't see much that I didn't like except for the fact it's real proprietary it's Apple so you're stuck in apple and it's not compatible with a PC which you can use it on the PC but if you're doing stuff with your Apple it's proprietary to Apple and not Microsoft that's the only thing I can think of other than that everything was pretty much easy to use.
