About iCloud
iCloud provides a secure, online platform for document and data storage that can be accessed at any time, from any device. You can use iCloud to access rich media such as TV shows, songs, photos, apps, books, and movies from all your mobile devices. You can also use the iCloud to get access to important word documents and presentations, which can be shared across applications and among devices.
iCloud also records your browsing activity in Safari, memorizing your open tabs and sharing them across your Apple devices. The app will also sync your bookmarks from Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer among your Apple devices.
You can also use iCloud to store all calendar, contacts and email data. This data will be automatically updated whenever you make a change, such as creating a new calendar event or deleting an email.
Furthermore, the iCloud app can be used to store important personal data such as passwords and credit card pin codes. The device locator and remote wiping options ensure that your data is kept safe within the iCloud app.
Share this content with friends and family using the new Family Sharing features. Parental permissions can be set up through Family Sharing so that kids need to "ask permission" before they make Apple purchases.

It is especially convenient because it makes a copy of the phone's settings and when replacing the phone, it is very easy to transfer to the new device. You don't need to have the photos on both the phone and iCloud.
Pros
It makes a copy of my files online and through my account I can access them anywhere, anytime.
Cons
When it gets full and keeps prompting me to pay for a higher plan or clear files

It’s not the most user friendly and I wish it worked a little differently but it’s affordable for what you get.
Pros
I like the integration with Apple devices. Automatically syncs data (based on preferred settings) and does more than just sync pictures.
Cons
I don’t like that if you delete something on a device it deletes everywhere else and doesn’t retain it in the cloud. I wish it would let me store pictures in the cloud so if I delete something from my phone, it’s still backed up in the cloud.

Overall, iCloud has been a convenient and reliable service for storing and syncing my files across devices. It’s easy to use, but I’d love to see more storage options at better prices. It works well for those who have several Apple products or who have been/ will continue to be an Apple customer for an extended period of time.
Pros
What I like most about iCloud is the seamless integration across all Apple devices. It syncs photos, documents, and apps ensuring everything is up to date and accessible, no matter which device I’m using. The backup feature is also very reliable.
Cons
One of the few downsides in my experience is iCloud’s storage limitations. The free plan is only 5GB which is quite small, and the paid plans can get expensive.
