I really love and appreciate that all my data and files are safe, secure, and easily accessible. > > **Cons**: iCloud has very limited storage and regularly really encourages the user to upgrade and purchase more terabytes of storage space. It very much feels necessary since the initial free storage offered fills up fast. > > Overall I think iCloud is a very valuable and extremely useful platform and service. It's very intuitive and easy to learn and use from the start. ----- ### "iCloud for small busineess" — 5.0/5 > **Julie** | *18 November 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I just changed from android to the iPhone and I am new to iCloud. I am beginning to use it so I am in the learning stages. So far I can save all my transferred documents in the Cloud and I am learning to store my pictures in there as well. So far everything is saving well and I can find everything I put in there. > > **Cons**: Well navigating has been a challenge because I am new to the Apple way of doing things. I believe, as this software is designed to create, save and share I will soon be able to do everything needed to drive my business. > > So far, as I am learning, I have had a good experience with this tool. I am encouraged and look forward to organizing my small business and growing my clientele and marketing practices. ----- ### "Solution for extra storage" — 3.0/5 > **Khiana** | *25 July 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that my files (photos, notes, documents) can be shared across various devices easily - both work and personal devices. I also like that when I upgrade to a new Apple product, I can just sign back into my iCloud and have everything set up easily\! > > **Cons**: When my iCloud was full it deleted my items (files from my work computer as well as photos from my personal phone) without notifying me that this was going to happen. When I called Apple support, they let me know my items were gone and there was no way to retrieve them. They do not notify you when items will be deleted, only when your iCloud storage is full. When I needed to upgrade my iCloud storage, I found there was no in-between option. I wish there were more scaled options or you could create your own package of what amount of storage you'd like to purchase. It's expensive to be paying $14 with taxes every month for extra storage however, I had no choice but to upgrade so my devices would function properly. With low storage space, they were glitching. > > I appreciate that iCloud allows me to easily access my files across devices and allows extra storage without needing to upgrade to a new device. The support agents are always friendly and do their best to help when I contact Apple. I wish it was less expensive and you would be notified before items are removed. ----- ### "Review for icloud" — 5.0/5 > **Crysta** | *30 November 2025* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use iPhone, iPad, Mac (or other Apple hardware), so iCloud works very smoothly. Files, photos, backups, settings, and app data sync automatically across my devices. Data stored in iCloud is encrypted, and with features like two-factor authentication, it offers a reasonable degree of security and protection. > > **Cons**: The free tier is often insufficient for photos, videos, backups, and everyday use. I quickly hit the limit and need to upgrade. > > If you own iPhone, Mac, or an iPad and you like convenience, having your photos, files, messages, and backups automatically synced and backed up, iCloud is arguably one of the easiest and most “set-and-forget” ways to manage your data. I enjoy using it daily. ----- ### "Great product, low price." — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *06 June 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the amount of cloud storage I receive for the low cost each month. My files feel secure and I have ample storage. > > **Cons**: It sometimes has a slow load time for items and files that I need to download from the cloud onto my device. > > I have liked my experience with iCloud. I think especially for use with Apple products like iPhone and Macbooks, it is a great way to store files in both the professional and personal setting. ----- Page: 1 / 79\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/100325/icloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/100325/icloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
