The ease of use and instant syncing is the best part of iCloud. It just works, as Apple liked to say in the old days. I love being able to pick up any device and have everything I need. I use the 2TB plan, which is an incredible value, and is more storage than I personally will ever need I suspect. If you use Apple devices, there's really no reason not to have an iCloud account, and usually to pay for at least the 200GB tier, unless you really use very little data.
The only real drawback would be if you use Android or Windows devices, you get less access to features, though some still work. And the Photos syncing to a Mac is sometimes slow.

I've used various cloud storage services before, but for a few reasons, iCloud is my favorite. Considering I solely use Apple products, iCloud is really useful. On both the iPhone and the Mac, the integration is seamless. It's simple to set up and use, and you can access the cloud from any of the other Apple devices. iCloud is software with the free option with plenty of cloud storage, and the subscription plan is incredibly affordable for such a good amount of space you get.
I've had a few issues with iCloud, such as my images not being immediately uploaded to the iCloud and then not being able to view documents stored on my Mac from my phone. The majority of the time, iCloud operates smoothly, but sometimes, one of these bugs occurs. Fortunately, customer service is great, and problems are always resolved quickly.
