### "UN CAPOLAVORO DI APPLE!"

March 10, 2024

5.0

Uso iCloud ogni giorno. La ritengo una invenzione incredibile per chi usa tutti i dispositivi apple. iCloud garantisce la sincronizzazione perfetta di tutti i dati, da note al calendario, dalle foto ai file pdf o word con pages, allo Storage di tutto. Se si perde o viene smarrito un dispositivo basterà collegarsi da quello nuovo con il proprio account iCloud e tutto apparirà nel nuovo dispositivo. Comodissima la possibilità di salvare in iCloud il buckup del proprio iPhone. Infine, ma non per importanza, la sicurezza. L'identificazione a doppio binario garantisce sicurezza e affidabilità.

Pros

I vantaggi di iCloud sono tanti e li riassumo: Piani economici, gestione comodissima e intuitiva da iPhone e iPad e Mac (anche dal sito iCloud), sicurezza a doppio binario, possibilità di salvare in iCloud anche il backup del dispositivo e di tutto il suo contenuto. Uso iCloud da circa 8 anni, quando un virus ha totalmente cancellato tutti i miei file di lavoro e le foto. Dal allora ho stipulato un piano d a2,99 euro al mese e tutto ciò che carico o creo nei dispositivi apple viene automaticamente salvato su iCloud. Niente può perdersi o dematerializzarsi. Tutto a portata di mano.

Cons

Non ritengo ci siano inconvenienti da segnalare. Certamente per avere un iCloud diciamo efficiente bisogna aderire ad un piano a pagamento in quanto quello di "serie" non offre uno Storage adeguato.

### "icloud vabbene però..."

January 11, 2024

5.0

Del resto consiglio vivamente il servizio icloud anche perchè tutti ormai utilizzano questo servizio di icloud, essendo un'amante della famigerata mela ho anche sistemi android meno sicuri certo, però rimane sempre impeccabile il logo dice tutto.

Pros

Mi è piaciuto molto l'icloud per il semplice fatto che posso archiviare tutto ovviamente sentendomi sicuro perchè è completamente sicuro inserire i propi file che possono essere foto o backup importanti, è sicuro in confronto a tanti altri servizi di archiviazione

Cons

Non mi piace il fatto che mi sono trovato nella situazione che mentre dovevo ricevere dell'email importanti da parte dell'azienda per cui lavoro, non ho potuto riceverle perche ho esaurito lo spazio a disposizone, e poi ha un costo mensile ci sta però aumentate lo spazio a disposizione.

### "iCloud provides a great cloud solution for Apple users, but is not designed for business use."

July 28, 2021

4.0

iCloud has had plenty of growing pains over the years - originally starting as iTools, rebranded as .Mac (dot Mac), MobileMe, and finally iCloud. During the years many features have come and gone, and during each transition there have been major changes. However, the iCloud feature-set has been relatively stable for nearly a decade now, with features being added or tweaked, but not removed. At this point, iCloud can very much be described as a mature product - and an essential product for Apple users.

Pros

iCloud is built-in to all Apple devices, and as such is seamless to setup and use. In addition, iCloud is more than just cloud storage, as it provides a robust suite of apps and tools including: Keynote, Numbers and Pages; Email, Calendar, and Reminders; iCloud Keychain (a password keeper); Find My device support (allowing you to find your lost or misplaced Apple devices); mobile device backups, and iCloud Drive which is akin to Dropbox or Google Drive. Additionally, iCloud storage is reasonably priced starting at only $1/month for 50GB of storage up to $10/month for 2TB of storage. My favorite feature is iCloud Photos, which allows you to sync all of your photos across all of your devices, with desktop and mobile app counterparts allowing for robust organization and editing.

Cons

There are two big downsides to iCloud: 1.) While many of the features will work on a PC, iCloud is designed specifically for Apple devices and users. 2.) While iCloud can be used in a business environment, it is very much designed for personal use as there is no central management console to manage multiple users. The closest you can get is an iCloud for Family plan - which is limited to 6 users. In addition, while there is a free tier of iCloud, it is limited to a total of 5GB of storage across all devices and all features.

### "Lost in the iCloud"

March 18, 2026

3.0

Overall, my experience is more or less the same, though sync troubles still persist and may make iCloud somewhat more harm than helpful.

Pros

I still like that I can use it as a live-service in the sense I can maintain multiple documents and files in real-time across several different apps through iCloud's linkage.

Cons

I dislike the confusion across multiple accounts, of how iCloud can or should be used compared to regular Internet or desktop-based work, and also the tendency to duplicate files I didn't ask for.

### "Native way of storage for Apple devices being in the cloud or locally"

June 24, 2022

3.0

You can upload quickly data that was capture being photos or quick documents generated while going into business trip. And access data from everywhere to consult some evidence or document.

Pros

The way you can interact with data in the cloud is so close as if you were managing local data, also you can upload and download photos automatically if needed.

Cons

The price is a little bit expensive considering that photos from Apple devices are very heavy.

### "Yes!"

August 1, 2022

5.0

I love it. I will never switch and it will always be my primary and my go to

Pros

I love iCloud and being able to live stress-free. I feel as though all of my information is safe and secure.

Cons

As anything you aren't familiar with there may be somethings that are confusing at the beginning. But when you are new to using iCloud they do offer tutorials how to use. Also, if they had an app that uses iCloud that is some sort of typing document like word, or google docs.

### "iCloud is simply the best"

July 31, 2021

4.0

It is fair to say that iCloud is more than any other average cloud storage platform. It gives the best support to backs up iPhone, iPad, and Mac data. It allows to access data from either a computer or mobile device, and it is the best feature when you are away from your usual home base. Even if you lose your device, the cloud data will not be lost. I changed phones but didn't lose any contacts, photos, or other important stuff that I had on my phone.

Pros

It is simply the best platform when it comes to storing files and data on the cloud with great security features. It allows accessing data from any location that is connected to the internet. You can easily share files from the photo library as everything is seamlessly synchronized. You can manage your iCloud on multiple devices and even locate a lost phone/tab. I personally love it for keeping track of my calendar, bookmarks, and contacts. I have used it on my phone, tab, and mac system and it works equally good on any device.

Cons

Life is good when you have good internet connectivity but when you are in some remote area with low signals, the photos won't load and makes your hair pull. I encountered this situation a couple of times and I was pretty annoyed. So be mindful. The monthly storage subscription fee is low but still, it costs.

### "iCloud - the indispensable tool to make your life easier"

February 16, 2023

5.0

Icloud is helping me stay on top of my personal and professional life, keeping my files safe and reachable whenever needed.

Pros

This tool helps me get organized and updated ; What i most enjoy is the sharing options, the easy access from all devices and its interface.

Cons

Overall, i believe it does what's intended to in a very smooth and simple to understand way.

### "A seamless integration of the cloud in all my devices"

February 22, 2023

5.0

There is no other product alike. It is the best cloud service out there and I probably will be using it for the rest of my life

Pros

Since the day it was launched more than 10 years ago I found it the best cloud solution for the iOS and macOS ecosystems. There is no other than work as reliable as iCloud. All my files are stored seamlessly across my Apple products. One of the things I like most about it is the shared desktop and document folder across my Macs. It makes my life easier when I alternate between my work office Mac and the one I have at home. Another magical feature is the fact I have all my photos that I have took with different devices in one unified gallery.

Cons

I have started to find iCloud a little short on storage options.

### "iCloud Keeps Me Going!"

April 8, 2023

5.0

iCloud is easy to use from logging in to accessing my documents and managing my storage, I find the platform extremely intuitive.

Pros

Being able to access my documents and photos across multiple devices has become an important part of my everyday work life, and without iCloud I wouldn't be able to do it as seamlessly. It is built into everything I own, so I never need to worry about needing to go track down one device to grab one specific image or document.

Cons

Sometimes I have so much data across devices that I will upload a large image set on my laptop and forget its on my phone and open my phone to a mess of photos. Luckily, I can then quickly organize them from my phone and there is no issue from there.

### "Required For Every Day Life"

May 17, 2022

5.0

Overall I could say with certainty that this is an essential product of my every day life. If I lost and broke my phone, my files are only as far away from me as the closest device with internet connection. This is an essential part of anyone's life, both personal and business.

Pros

iCloud is almost a necessity for most people working in a corporate setting. Files are easy to store and access. Sharing large documents and media is always a breeze as you can just send a high quality document right over text. Sharing has never been so easy with co-workers and clientele.

Cons

As many wonderful features as iCloud has, it's not meant to be a dedicated file sharing software so it does have its limits. You cannot share a single account with multiple people easily but you can create subfolders to let them contribute. This only goes as far as media but it's a little more complex with documents.

### "Most Affordable and Encrypted Storage"

July 18, 2021

4.0

iCloud is amazing. Their paid plans are really affordable and well worth it. The storage is very strongly encrypted and I love how it works.

Pros

iCloud is generally safe storage and it’s great to keep everything. I love how it really keeps everything across your device. I love how it easily switches between devices with so much ease. The best part is it’s so cheap!

Cons

It may sometimes take its time to synchronize in real time but that’s on very rare occasions.

February 14, 2022

5.0

I have had a fantastic experience with iCloud and have no complaints whatsoever.

Pros

The amount of storage given for the \[rice is fantastic, and the ease of use, in my eyes, is unmatched.

Cons

I would like more selectability over which documents are backed up and which aren't. At this stage, iCloud is more like a hoover that sucks up everything.

Reason for choosing iCloud

iCloud came with my iPad, but I chose to increase the amount of storage I have because of the seamlessness job it does.

### "ICLOUD- Necesario."

November 5, 2021

5.0

Mi experiencia ha sido muy buena una vez que me fui a la modalidad de pago, con le modalidad gratuita me encontré en un escenario en el cual mi información ya no se respaldaba por falta de pago. La seguridad de apple y el como entre todos mis dispositivos se van alimentando con la misma información lo hace una herramienta que en lo personal utilizo todos los días.

Pros

El Icloud es una herramienta que viene incluida en el sistema operativo de Apple, 5GB de base es una buena base de la nube, sin embargo, la mejor funcionalidad la encuentras con el sistema pagado. De igual manera, el nivel de seguridad de la nube es muy alto. El sistema de 50 GBs sería mi mayor recomendación

Cons

Creo que la única falla es que solo es compatible con sistema apple, el hacer una opción para poder usar sobre un dispositivo android le daría más fuerza a la aplicación y podría decir que se volvería una potencia en su ramo, puesto que apple carga el renombre.

### "iCloud, multifunctional multidimensional online data cloud storage manager"

May 14, 2022

5.0

Overall The key message is that the system is one that is hard to avoid because of the seamless integration into most Apple products, in addition to the multi functionality and integration within most if not all major apps.

Pros

Ultimately what’s best about this software is the fact that it is pretty user-friendly, and broadly accessible from a variety of different devices. In addition can be accessible without direct Wi-Fi connection. Therefore users can seamlessly access any of the required documents from virtually anywhere and from any device. Integration between the majority of instilled apps is what allows this particular data storage management to be ranked as a top-tier data storage software.

Cons

On the other hand, for users who spend a large amount on the devices of selves, in particular Apple devices that have the seamless integration it does seem a bit redundant to limit the amount of free storage that users have access to and charge for additional storage although it is the storage management that is built into the system. In addition I would recommend to further elaborate on the organizational aspects of the folder system to allow users to add additional sub categories or sub tabs into their broad folders .

As a General Virtual Assistant, I have documents and reports intended for my clients that need to be secured and transferrable anytime, and iCloud helps me solve that problem. I do not worry about my data because iCloud is very secure. It is easy, fast, and smooth to operate. It increases my productivity significantly, I couldn't recommend it more.

Pros

What I like about iCloud is its ability to store data with enough security like encryption to protect your personal files, reports and documents. I like how fast and easy to use this app. It definitely saves you time and energy because of smooth functionality of iCloud.

Cons

I have no complaints. My experience overall has been fanatic and the team of iCloud has been very supportive. It has been an absolute game changer and incredibly powerful with a wide range of features you can use to leverage your experience with iCloud.

### "iCloud - The Default Storage Choice for Apple Users"

July 18, 2019

4.0

Pros

iCloud is Apple’s answer to Google Drive and other online storage options. I have used it for slightly over 2 years and there are some areas where it works and other areas where it doesn’t work. Here are my thoughts on it: 1. iCloud works better if you in the Apple ecosystem. If you live and breathe Apple, iCloud can seem magical and wonderful all in one. It works for syncing documents, contacts and backups and it is all done securely. If you have multiple devices, simply logging into your Apple ID gives you access to all your iCloud content. 2. iCloud drive allows you to easily share documents between devices and with Apple features like continuity allows you to pick up work and other things on another device. This is probably the best feature of iCloud in my opinion. 3. The Files App and Finder allow you to view and share, delete and edit cloud based documents. If you have specific apps linked to iCloud drive, you will find it easy to see the changes in near real time. 4. I consider the entry level 5GB to be a con but on the flip side, the pricing for other storage tiers feels fairly reasonable in my opinion. I just wish Apple started out at 10GB not the measly 5GB. 5. The Find My iPhone/Mac feature is just genius. I lost a phone a few months ago and was able to login and block if from being used within minutes after it was taken.

Cons

As mentioned before, I do not think 5GB cloud storage makes any sense in 2019. I found that within a few weeks, I was already using 90%+ of my storage. If you have a Windows laptop, I wish you good luck making iCloud work well there. You may download an app that installs it on your computer but it seems it is only good for iCloud Photos but it is not as intuitive and functional as if you were on a Mac or iOS device. I am also not sure if iCloud can be business friendly, it seems more tailored to individuals and families. If you ask me, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive do more on the business front compared to Apple. So for personal use, yes sure, but for business, you are better off looking elsewhere.

### "iCloud Customer Review"

April 17, 2022

4.0

I'm a heavy user with 2 mac computers, 3 ipads, 2 iphones and a watch. I use several apps and documents stored in a paid 2TB cloud storage, mostly because of the integration with the platform and the option to attach files in almost every available app. I also like the "smart storage" the system has, where heavy files are not downloaded to the device to avoid disc space usage.

Pros

I'm mostly an Apple user , so I decided to move all my data storage to iCloud due to the integration with the platform and devices

Cons

Sometimes the sync fails and the only solution is to logout and login back to restart the process, but it also affects otter features like predetermined device sync preferences, and have to set them up all over again

[Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/)

Pros

I like that iCloud gives you peace of mind that your data from the phone is backed up in iCloud. So in case you crashed your phone, you can restore the data and have it ready to go within minutes after restoring the data from the iCloud back up. You can also share storage with your family members that makes the payment tracking easier.

Cons

Maybe the fact that you will eventually run out of the current tier memory. But if you keep your files and phones up to date and delete some unused apps or heavy documents, you will be just fine.

April 2, 2023

5.0

With iCloud I solve a variety of business problems, including storing and sharing files and documents in the cloud for access on different devices, real-time synchronization of information and settings between different devices, performing backups and restores of data, protecting and encrypting sensitive data, and collaborating on projects and documents with others.My experience with iCloud is positive, highlighting its ease of use, real-time synchronization, secure document storage, and the ease of collaborating on projects and documents with others.

Pros

Some of the most important iCloud features may include:Real-time sync that allows me to work on the same document simultaneously.End-to-end encryption to protect my confidential data.Integration with other Apple services like Keychain for a more seamless experience.Remote access to your documents from anywhere and on any device.Cloud storage and backup of important files to avoid data loss.Easy file sharing and team collaboration.Real-time sync for more efficient collaboration.In general, iCloud is considered easy to use by both users and managers, due to its intuitive interface and several functionalities that make work easier. Integration with other Apple services can facilitate the adoption of iCloud as a cloud storage solution for companies that already use other Apple products.

Cons

I'm pretty sure the Software is excellent, however, it needs some improvements, iCloud could be improved in terms of additional features, such as real-time collaborative editing, document version management and tighter integration with third-party services.As a User, I may find iCloud a little difficult to use with regards to aspects such as initial setup, managing permissions and document sharing, synchronizing and backing up data, as well as compatibility issues with different platforms or devices.Sometimes integrating with my existing business processes as iCloud is primarily a cloud storage solution for myself and other consumers. However, Apple offers mobile device management (MDM) solutions that can help integrate iCloud with existing business processes in companies and organizations.

### "Why you should use iCloud to store your files"

September 4, 2021

5.0

My overall experience is excellent! I can manage my files anywhere, store them and delete not necessary ones, and it helps me during work routine because I don't have to keep deleting everything to free up space.

Pros

What I liked most about this software is that it has a low cost for a big space storage, and I can upload my files and organize them neatly, without further issues. The sync feature is also great, which allows me to free up space on my iphone or macbook, or any other mac device, and even access my files without internet connection.

Cons

Personally I didn't find any cons, so far, but I would advise new users to organize well their files, or they may get very lost! And please do research what is the best storage for your budget, Apple had offered me a good deal with this one!
