Francisco Alberto A
Chief’s Editor
4.0

Francisco: Hi, I'm Francisco. I'm a Chief's Editor, and I give iCloud four out of five stars. For more review like this, click below. Other software that I tried is the Google Suite, specifically, Google Drive. I also tried OneDrive, Dropbox, a lot of software before using iCloud. The other software is great for Windows and maybe Linux, but when working in Apple products, I really like to use iCloud. Yeah. Well, the main reason is that you need to have diversity in the company when using multiple platforms, but specifically for Apple products, iCloud is very, very easy to use. Integrations are very... Close compatibility between Apple devices is really easy to use. Yeah. Well, it is not really hard. It depends on how many Apple devices you have. If you don't have the need to use it, well, it will be a little bit difficult because integration with Windows and other smartphone platforms is not very intuitive and you have to use... I don't know. For example, Windows, you have to use Chrome for integrate iCloud, the Keychain, for example. But if you already have many Apple devices in your company, it is not really a problem. You just have to log in, you have to have your account, and that's it. Well, the first recommendation, it will be, if you manage a lot of accounts, for example, you're an IT and you get in charge of all the email of the employees, right? You have to remember all those passwords and accounts and all of that. Sure you can save them anywhere, or you can check it in your IT software, but you can also use Keychain. It's like, "Oh, wait. I need to check this accountant in my cell phone, or in my Mac." Yeah. And then you just log in. Your biometric security is all that you need, and you have access to all that information. So, I think that is really cool.
