### "iCloud Review "

March 6, 2023

5.0

Pros

iCloud is seamlessly integrated with Apple's ecosystem, making it easy to use and access from any Apple device, and iCloud automatically backs up data from Apple devices, including photos, documents, and app data, ensuring that users don't lose their data if their device is lost or damaged, and syncs data across all Apple devices, ensuring that users have access to the most up-to-date versions of their files, and also iCloud allows users to share documents, photos, and other files with other iCloud users, making collaboration easier.iCloud uses encryption to protect users' data and offers two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access.

Cons

The free storage plan offered by iCloud is limited and may need to pay for additional storage if they want to store a large amount of data.While iCloud's syncing feature is generally reliable, some have reported issues with files not syncing correctly across devices.iCloud is only compatible with Apple devices and is not available for use on other platforms, which can be limiting for users who use multiple types of devices.While some iCloud services are free, may need to pay for additional storage or for access to certain features, which can be costly.

### "iCloud Data"

May 13, 2022

5.0

It is a good software, recommendable

Pros

It is a very good software, manageable and easy to use; really liked that all type of documents are linked in a single drive regarding are from different applications.

Cons

The least that I liked about this software is that it offers way to low storage, you have to pay even more to get more storage, and most of the time when you're working with high size documents it starts to slow down and even shut down.

### "Great for General Cloud Storage, but as much for iOS Syncing"

August 6, 2021

4.0

My overall experience with iCloud has been great, as I have been able to store numerous amounts and types of files using the service, and have then been able to easily and efficiently get a hold of them whenever necessary by using the search/filter option. I also find that sharing files with others directly through the cloud is an efficient process, which is also very convenient when compared to the alternative, which would require the downloading of files and then separate emailing/texting of them. Overall, great service and would definitely recommend.

Pros

What I like best about iCloud is its fantastic ability to store a wide range of files in the cloud, regardless of their format, whether it be a simple text document or a video made by using a complicated external software. I also very much like that the service is free to use if an immense amount of cloud storage is not needed, and that the service is accessible to people who do not even use the iOS software on their primary mobile device and/or tablet. Lastly, I like that iCloud can be accessed using virtually any device that is connected to the internet, whether it be a smartphone, tablet, desktop, or laptop. Overall, it is a great service for anyone looking for decent cloud storage capabilities.

Cons

The one aspect of iCloud that I think can be further worked upon is its ability to sync more information from iOS devices, rather than just the default apps created by Apple such as notes, calendar, photos, etc. In other words, it would be convenient if all, or at least most, of the third party apps on a user's iPhone or iPad can also be synced to the desktop/laptop version of iCloud whenever someone is attempting to access the cloud that way. Other than that one small aspect of the service, I cannot point out anything else that can be considered a con, which is a great thing when considered overall.

### "La scelta più logica (ed economica) per chi usa dispositivi Apple"

September 30, 2022

5.0

Un ottimo sostituto della memoria fisica del dispositivo, con il vantaggio della condivisione cross-device e la sicurezza che i miei dati vengono conservati anche in caso di smarrimento o danno irreparabile del dispositivo hardware.

Pros

iCloud permette di disporre di uno spazio di archiviazione cloud associato al proprio utente Apple e condiviso da tutti i dispositivi in uso (iPhone, Mac, iPad…). Questo permette un’esperienza particolarmente fluida, potendo leggere ed editare i propri documenti, foto e video inclusi, da tutti i propri dispositivi come se tutti condividessero lo stesso identico hard drive. Questo ha semplificato enormemente il mio lavoro in mobilità. Inoltre consente un importante risparmio sull’acquisto dei dispositivi stessi, potendo puntare su tagli minimi di memoria, andando poi a sfruttare lo spazio sul cloud per i file utente.

Cons

Credo che molti utenti non ne abbiamo compreso le potenzialità perché restii a sottoscrivere un abbonamento, in quanto il piano standard incluso con il dispositivo è di solo 5 GB. A mio avviso il piano standard dovrebbe essere di almeno 128 GB (con tagli che rispecchino i tagli di memoria). Trovo inoltre macchinoso il sistema di condivisione dei file con altri utenti, soprattutto se utenti non-Apple.

### "iCloud - easy to use storage and cross-device document saving "

October 7, 2022

5.0

Overall I think if you are looking for a place to store your documents, images and information then the iCloud is the perfect place - it’s built to sync really well with all Apple products and is safe and reliable.

Pros

The iCloud is absolutely integral to ensuring that files and folders on devices are safely stored online and easily accessible when needed. It gives real peace of mind that even if something happens to your device there is a back-up in the cloud that allows you to set-up your device again with little document or image losses.

Cons

There is not much to dislike about the iCloud - it’s super easy to use and set up and back-ups happen in the background without you even knowing.

### "Great application for Apple Users"

April 11, 2023

5.0

The backing up and restoring of devices is quick and easy, the ability to store photos, videos and documents as well as selecting which applications you want the data to be stored is also very easily. The pricing for cloud space I think is very affordable.

Pros

Being able to backup all my photos, videos, documents and data for applications I use on my devices. I'm able to restore or access the data on any of my devices without having to use Bluetooth to share the files, as well as being an essential application for all Apple devices.

Cons

iCloud for Windows I found to be less user-friendly than other cloud solutions.

Alternatives considered

[OneDrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161304/OneDrive/)

Reason for choosing iCloud

Due to having multiple Apple devices (iPhone, iPads and a MacBook) it was convenient to transfer files as well as having them backed up in case a device happened to get into a software/hardware fault. It's always better to have data stored in 2-3 places to ensure chance of data loss is minimised.

### "iCloud is worth is price, intuive and neat "

March 21, 2022

5.0

I'm pretty satisfied with iCloud, it has been optimizing my storage space, keeps everything well organized and I can check my information on any devices and when changing any of them the synchronization saves me time. Definitely, the price is minimal compared with the benefits

Pros

I love iCloud, it is very user-friendly as the format is very simple I can customize and organize my information in any way I want, keeping well-categorized my day-to-day life. I love that the process of uploading documents is automatic, I don't have to worry about it, everything is safe

Cons

The only problem I have found so far is the time that it takes to upload all the new documents, files, photos. While working, I generate a lot of information and I need it to be ready in less than 5 minutes. So, if the internet has a limited speed, then it would be a problem

### "Important part of Apple products"

March 16, 2023

5.0

We managed to transfer our client’s and worker’s data from old to new device very easy. In addition it allows to switch between Apple and MS Windows decides instantly. However, version for MS Windows does not offer full access to all functions.

Pros

iCloud is tightly integrated with apple products, perfectly passable and incredibly convenient for Mac and iPhone users in particular. I get all my pictures, documents, mails and so on on secure and safe place. There are frequently backed up, fast uploaded and accessible anytime from every single device (not even Apple device). iCloud also makes it easy to share photos, documents and more with friends, family, coworkers.

Cons

Documents are able to share only with people who have an Apple ID. Unfortunately, access to data is limited from MS Windows devices and we are not able to access all data, but only the basic ones, which is, on the other hand, mostly fully sufficient. Controlling the entire iCloud is too simple and slow in the MS Windows version. Such a design is too simple and does not meet the requirements of the 21st century.

### "Safest way to store and manage your data on cloud"

March 8, 2023

5.0

It’s easy to use with no training requirement. I feel it is the most safe way to store your data.

Pros

It is the safest cloud platform one can choose to store data, it’s easy go use and with real time synchronisation data can be accessed from anywhere.

Cons

It’s more friendly nature is restricted to iCloud users, but if when it comes to data privacy one can definitely ignore this.

### "Good, put pricey!"

February 18, 2023

5.0

Except the price, I am extremely happy with iCloud and would recommend it to everyone, if price is not a factor for them.

Pros

I like the fact that it integrates very well with all Apple devices, rather seamlessly. It is definitely easy to use and deploy. There is a feature with iCloud+ which not many people know wherein they can hide their email address on the outgoing email addresses, which I think is nice depending on your profile.

Cons

Definitely, it is not cheap. It comes at quite a steep price and you would require a lot of iCloud storage to use or store all your files. I have also realised it is sometimes a bit slow to sync.

### "Pros and Cons of Apple's Cloud Storage Solution"

April 1, 2023

5.0

Overall, my experience with iCloud has been positive. As an Apple user, it offers a convenient cloud storage solution that integrates seamlessly with my devices. While the limited storage and lack of cross-platform compatibility can be a downside, it's still a great option for Apple users looking for an easy and convenient way to store and access their data. However, I must say that I'm happy using Pycharm as my Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for coding, as it offers me a range of features and customization options that meet my programming needs.

Pros

Seamless integration with Apple devices: As an Apple user, I find iCloud extremely convenient. It seamlessly integrates with all my Apple devices, making it easy to access my files and data from anywhere.Automatic backup: One of the best features of iCloud is that it automatically backs up my photos, videos, and other important data. This gives me peace of mind, knowing that my data is safe in case my device gets lost or damaged.Easy file sharing: With iCloud, I can easily share files with my friends and family. Whether it's a document, photo, or video, I can quickly share it with others using iCloud.Collaboration: iCloud also offers collaboration features, making it easy to work on projects with others in real-time. This is particularly useful for work-related projects or school assignments.

Cons

Limited storage: iCloud offers a limited amount of storage, and if you need more, you'll have to pay for it. This can be a downside for users who have a lot of data to store.Not cross-platform: While iCloud works seamlessly with Apple devices, it's not as convenient for users who have non-Apple devices. For example, if you have a Windows PC or an Android phone, you won't be able to access your iCloud data as easily.

### "Is of ability to locate documents is convenient all the time"

February 20, 2023

5.0

I love to store my documents in iCloud, and I highly recommend that others do also.

Pros

The thing I like the most about this software is that I can have extra storage, and I can also access documents on mini devices in one location

Cons

I do think it would be convenient also to integrate the ability to edit documents the location where it is stored. This would make the processing and ensuring accuracy much more streamlined.

### "Incredibly easy to use, integrates with the Apple ecosystem perfectly"

February 6, 2022

5.0

Pros

The ease of use and instant syncing is the best part of iCloud. It just works, as Apple liked to say in the old days. I love being able to pick up any device and have everything I need. I use the 2TB plan, which is an incredible value, and is more storage than I personally will ever need I suspect. If you use Apple devices, there's really no reason not to have an iCloud account, and usually to pay for at least the 200GB tier, unless you really use very little data.

Cons

The only real drawback would be if you use Android or Windows devices, you get less access to features, though some still work. And the Photos syncing to a Mac is sometimes slow.

I switched devices finally to an iPhone, and really breathed a sigh of relief to be able to use one service for everything, and while it wasn't free like my previous services had been, it was so much more effective that it still felt like a better value.

### "Great software wish more came with the free version "

January 12, 2023

4.0

My overall experience with iCloud has been relatively on the positive sign except for the one incident which I’m still dealing with of I was charged for the 2 TB of storage but I don’t have access to it and I’m still dealing with that but other than that, it’s been a great software and hands down probably the one on use for the rest of my life

Pros

I love most about this product is the fact that you get 5 GB with any iPhone iPad iPod or MacBook for free and then if you run out of that you only have to pay $.99 and you get 2 TB which is amazing it is a steal.

Cons

I don’t like the fact that only 5 GB come with the Apple product that you buy I think it should be more but like I said in the one above Brian nine cents you get 2 TB which is not that bad, but there are some people out here that can’t afford $.99 said to me I wish there was just a little bit of maybe like 10 GB that we got for free instead of just five.

Switched from

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

I initially switched when I got my first iPhone but I have no use both of them at the same time because I’ve run out of my 5 GB of storage on my iPhone and I was charged for 2 TB but they say I didn’t get charge for it I’m still dealing with that so in the meantime, I’m out of my storage space on my iCloud. I have transitioned to using both iCloud and Google Drive.

### "iCloud is something that I can't live without!"

March 4, 2022

5.0

Whether I'm in the office, sitting at a coffee shop, or traveling and in a hotel room, my files are always with me! I'm more productive as I always have access to update them. When I have free time they are always with me to continue my project and I can do it on whatever device I have with me! No longer is a file sitting on my 'desktop' and I'm on the road!

Pros

The fact that my files/photos are always with me is so important! They are instantly synched across all my Apple devices so a file I was working on in the office is still with me when I get home... or to the coffee shop where I can continue my work on whatever device I have with me. It allows me to choose what files I want synched thereby allowing me to control how much storage space I need. And additional storage space is pretty inexpensive. The convenience of having my work with me without having to download files to a thumb drive/portable hard drive, etc. before leaving is such a time saver! It allows me to always be prepared to discuss a current project!

Cons

I haven't found a downside to this software! It's awesome!

Reason for choosing iCloud

iCloud is a seamless transition of my photos and files across all my devices, and I'm not limited by the device I have with me at the time. I don't even have to think about it!

### "Recommending Icloud "

August 22, 2023

4.0

Apple's Customer service is great, if you have any issues they will quickly and efficiently be able to assist you. I think overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed using iCloud and will absolutely continue to do so

Pros

Integrating Icloud for business purposes was very easy! My favorite feature would be the fact I can view all stored documents and files through any of my apple devices. I believe Icloud does a great job at backing up files and if I were to have a compromised device, I would easily be able to gain access to my files

Cons

I feel that ICloud is a bit expensive for the amount of space you receive, I do think its worth the money to not lose any business files.

The most visible benefit of having to use iCloud for many years now is it’s seamless synchronization to all of my devices. Even devices I no longer use, my files are still on the cloud which I can access anytime I need them.

Pros

The easy file storage management and the protective end-to-end encryption of my personal files and documents.

Cons

The lease would be that it requires subscription for more storage. However, it is needed to further improve the customer experience.

### "iCloud - Mostly but not completely sunny"

January 11, 2023

4.0

I love iCloud in theory and 90% of the time in the real world. Apple needs to fix the user interface and bring a more robust data recovery option that at least is as functional as DropBox.

Pros

I like that it is easy for my Apple products to access iCloud and for them to stay synched as long as I have a reasonably fast internet connection.

Cons

I absolutely do not like the lack of customization available in the graphical interface of the file structure. Coming from the customization of the Apple Finder this is pretty jarring and pretty inexcusable. This is not only a problem on a mobile device but also on a desktop or laptop that is remotely connected and is not my own work station. I also don't like the basic lack of ability to recover files that have been deleted or overwritten unless it is from an Apple branded product that is already using iCloud for document storage.

Reason for choosing iCloud

July 7, 2022

5.0

My overall experience with iCloud it's the easiest coasters that I've ever used all hands down everything else that ever tried don't like it this is the best one that I discovered and I use on a daily basis.

Pros

Well the pros of this software it's very easy to use I didn't find any issues with it. You are going to like this software because the cloud is very unique than other clouds it's made by Apple and Apple is very unique of its own kind. Easy to navigate easy to set up easy to separate your files all together straightforward.

Cons

Well I could tell you didn't see much that I didn't like except for the fact it's real proprietary it's Apple so you're stuck in apple and it's not compatible with a PC which you can use it on the PC but if you're doing stuff with your Apple it's proprietary to Apple and not Microsoft that's the only thing I can think of other than that everything was pretty much easy to use.

Reason for choosing iCloud

The alternatives I've been through and a lot of them I don't like there's only one that I've been able to use it's very easy to use some other ones they're okay but overall this works better for me.

### "Works for what it's meant to do. Safe storage of files so they can be accessed anywhere ."

July 26, 2022

5.0

I've never had an issue using iCloud. 50 gb of cloud storage is inexpensive at about $1.50/month. This is a reasonable monthly cost for peace of mind. I've used other cloud services in the past (Google One, One Drive) and while they are all functional in terms of their intended purpose, iCloud is that much easier to use.

Pros

The main pro about iCloud, along with most cloud services is the access to my files. With my Apple ID, I can access my cloud storage from any computer, anywhere in the world. The functionality of iCloud is made even better when interacting with other Apple devices owned by the same person. Accessing files between your owned Apple devices is seamless and only done faster when using AirDropping.

Cons

While the functionality serves its purpose, the only con is accessing your files from a web browser. The service works, but it is not as intuitive or easy as doing so from your owned devices.
