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.

Icloud is the best
Reviewed on 2022/05/17
Pros
I love love love the fact that anytime I switch to a new device that i can easily recover all of my files from iCloud. It updates files on the daily so you don't have to ever worry about losing anything. Even if you have to pay for additional storage, iCloud prices are affordable and cost little to nothing. Great investment.
Cons
Sometimes when im locked out of my phone it's hard to recover my password , especially the time that my email was compromised. But other than that, I have no complaints.

Difficult to use and expensive
Reviewed on 2022/04/28
Pros
iCloud did become easier to use along the years but I still do not believe that it's the best cloud system out there. I only use it because I have an iphone but even for loyal iphone users, they charge so much for limited space.
Cons
The fact that they only allow you a small storage for free, also the fact that it wasn't user-friendly although it did become better over the years. The cloud should really be more generous for iphone users and shouldn't be charging so much for limited space.

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.

I am more reassured by Apple's business plan that my privacy and security as a user will be protected. I am suspect of Google's motivations with my data.Switched From

Very good experience, I've been on Icloud for years and I doubt that'll change!
Pros
I truly enjoy how Icloud can store and manage all of my picture from my iphone. Overtime, I've been uploading a lot of pictures on my Icloud, and it's nice to know I have a platform to download them on my computer or other platforms. The platform is pretty much inexpensive in comparison to others. I like the security levels and efficiency of the platform. I always receive notifications about security which makes me feel good about uploading personal stuff on it.
Cons
I took me a bit of time to get going. I had a hard time early on but once I got used to it, it was more than fine.

In general use, iCloud is considered convenient and user friendly. But, if the user requires more technical information it doesn't suit the high skilled user.
Pros
An automatically backup system was helpful, I love the part where the system chose the nighttime for the process. Also, the price of iCloud per storage is reasonable.
Cons
There are a couple of points that I think should be improved.
1. In backup files, if it is possible to choose the file's content to backup this could be helpful. Currently, I don't know what are specific content that had been stored.
2. Multiple devices, currently I don't know that the iCloud backup all the files in each device separately or doesn't stored the common data files type. It might be helpful is the information from two devices are the same then the system automatically stored only one not two files.
