### "A decent solution for backup storage if locked into the Apple ecosystem "

January 11, 2023

4.0

Overall, we've been pretty happy with iCloud as one of our backup storage options. Pricing of storage is pretty comparable to its peers like Google and Dropbox, so it makes it an easy choice in that department. While we wish access on non-Apple devices was a little easier and more streamlined, it's not a big enough dealbreaker to make us switch to a different platform wholesale.

Pros

My favorite thing about iCloud is how deeply integrated it is with our MacOS and iOS devices. iCloud is native on Apple devices, so it is very easy to access and use. It is intuitively designed and pretty easy to use, so most of our team members like it and don't have any issues.

Cons

Access on non-Apple devices is a little clunky. While it works, iCloud is obviously designed for use primarily on Apple devices.

Reason for choosing iCloud

Its integration with Apple devices is what made us choose iCloud as a corporate solution.

### "Fondamentale con dispositivi Apple"

February 19, 2023

Lo utilizzo a lavoro per caricare documenti e collaborare con i colleghi

Pros

Integrazione con l’ecosistema Apple. Non puoi farne a meno se possiedi un Mac e un iPhone. Ti semplifica la vita poiché ti consente di cominciare il lavoro in un device e continuarlo in un altro.

Cons

Lo spazio di archiviazione può risultare troppo costoso ma in una azienda si può tollerare

### "Cloud storage suits all my needs! "

January 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

The cloud is so easy to use. I'm able to share it across all of my devices which makes everything so much easier. Doesn't matter if I'm at home or the office I can access any file I need to. Or save anything as well!

Cons

I don't think anything is missing or difficult per say, just don't ever forget your password!

### "I-Cloud Is Where It’s At"

August 25, 2023

5.0

I really only have used I-cloud to keep a backup of my phone, as well as keep a copy of my photos, important documents and any important data that I want to keep and have instant access to. You won’t find any better program than I-Cloud in my opinion. And the price is very reasonable!!

Pros

I like I-Cloud because it lets you store your documents, data, photos, and anything else you can think of. It is so convenient to access the mobile version to save you time and money. It protects all of your information with passwords and encryption to keep it safe and secure.

Cons

There really isn’t anything I have found that I didn’t like or was inconvenient. It serves all of my needs.

### "iCloud is awesome for my small business"

October 8, 2023

5.0

Overall experience with iCloud is very positive. Since I started using it I reduced the usage of other similar products like Google Drive. Super user-friendly and fast. I never worry about information being lost.

Pros

What I enjoy the most about iCloud is the fact that I access my files even when I am not with my laptop, as everything is synced in real-time on mobile as well. Even on a night out, I can quickly answer my clients and provide what they need.

Cons

Limited storage. It becomes a bit expensive when you need more and more storage once you've been using it for a while.

### "A great software for Mac users, not so great for anyone else"

December 22, 2021

4.0

iCloud is great cloud storage that offers remote file redundancy which is extremely important to me as a business owner. I use it primarily to store Mac-generated files (such as Pages docs and Keynote presentations), but I imagine it's just as capable at storing all kinds of files as it's competitors.

Pros

I love that this product functions the way it is supposed to. It's easy to understand, it's intuitive, and everything works the way you'd expect it to. There's no guessing here, just a solid, competitive product that does what it's advertised to do and does it well.

Cons

The one thing I dislike about this is very specific to my OS preferences, because I prefer Android mobile devices over Apple's, the integration is not as smooth, so I opt for Google drive which integrates well with my MacBook Pro and seamlessly with my Google Pixel 3XL

Reason for choosing iCloud

### "I can retrieve data up to the minute I first started using this software. "

November 17, 2021

5.0

My experience with iCloud over the years that I am using it has been amazing, I can retrieve data up to the moment I first started using this software.

Pros

What I love this most about this software is the peace of mind it allows me. I do not have to worry about data being lost or stolen. and in the event where my device is stolen I am still able to access my documents, media, anything that was stored and the best part about it I am able to cloud lock my device suing this software. I have never enjoyed using any other software as much as I enjoy using this one

Cons

I love this software so much, I have no faults whatsoever.

### "Best cloud storage on the planet!"

February 25, 2023

5.0

Easier to manage documents. Works well with all Apple devices.

Pros

It is fast. You will have access to your files as soon as they are uploaded, on any device you are using. It works seamlessly with all Apple devices and it´s easy to to use.It´s very reliable. I have never had any problems with corrupted or lost files. It´s also encrypted so your files are safe from hackers and others.You´ll never have to search and struggle to find your files. They are easy to find and you will always know where they are.

Cons

iCloud sync on non-Apple devices. I don´t know if it works or not, but it would be better if non-apples devices also had access.Ability to decide what remains on the computer. The iCloud.com is not as user-friendly as the competition.

### "Have all your files backed up"

January 28, 2022

5.0

In my job I have to save many files, images and notes, with iCloud I can have access to all my files that I keep on my iPhone and iMac and as I take up space I buy the plan that best suits my needs, and I can access these files From any device with my Apple ID, iCloud is accessible from anywhere and from any Apple device or web browser. In my experience, iCloud has the advantage that it syncs very well across all Apple devices. makes automatic backups so my documents are always up to date.

Pros

I like iCloud since this service gives me the opportunity to save and sync files such as images. photos, documents, videos, contacts, books, audiobooks, and the best of all is that they are in a safe place, the best thing about iCloud is that it syncs very well with all apple devices and has one of the best securities compared to other cloud storage services.

Cons

I don't like that they only give 5 GB of free cloud memory, since google drive give 3 times more cloud storage.

### "iCloud for college students"

April 1, 2023

4.0

So far, with the two years and months that I have had this application, they have been very good, perhaps with certain digital limitations, but always with the help of Apple, which always solves it.

Pros

What I like most about iCloud Is that I can view my documents and files from any Apple smart device under my account. It's also easy to share these files with others, like my friends from college, who are in or have an iCloud account.

Cons

Some of the things I dislike is that there are times when the file synchronization is very slow or never happens at all. On the other hand, another thing that I don't like is that although iCloud has free storage, when it runs out you have to buy more storage this is sometimes very expensive for people who study so they can't afford it.

### "For many-device or heavy backup/cloud sync needs, stay far away or use additional backup solution"

July 6, 2018

2.0

Pros

When I first used with just an iPhone and an iMac, everything worked pretty well and there is really no configuration. Current plans and family sharing make it a pretty affordable cloud/sync option for everyday users.

Cons

iCloud isn't a true backup-type solution (even iCloud Drive) and once I became a power user and added another Macbook, Apple TV, and Apple Watch, it became a living nightmare once it broke. After 6 months I am still trying to piece together all my files and photos to ultimately get off iCloud as best I can. Apple makes it nearly impossible not to use iCloud somewhat. You will experience non-stop synching issues once you get a large iCloud drive or photos library, and since it is designed to "just work" there are no controls or settings to stop it. You can't really turn it off, either, since it will hang and then scatter remnants of your file folders in the iCloud Archive. Once corrupted or you start having sync issues, all your devices will malfunction constantly and there is not much you can do...everything from my Apple Watch music loading to the battery life tanking happened. I'm referring to 15+ GB photo libraries and 80+ GB of files in an iCloud drive....if you have 3+ Apple devices and large amounts of files that are important, immediately find a secondary backup and try to move photos and important files there. I've used OneDrive's app for photo syncing on my iPhone and then to my Mac, and used Google's wonderful Drive FileStream (available with GSuite business accounts) to keep things in place while I've restored, reset, etc. more than 200 times in the past several months. I have 5-10 copies of all my folders scattered over computers and iCloud Archive files I am still trying to sort out.

### "Need Easier File Sharing Functions"

March 19, 2022

3.0

Good for personal use. Very poor functionality for business use.

Pros

Ease of use. Perfect for personal photo storage and casual file storage in the cloud. Apple's emphasis on privacy is also a plus.

Cons

(1) Poor File Sharing Features. iCloud only allows single file sharing and has to do that by adding each collaborator on each single shared file or folder. It does not come with the easy-sharing feature such as multi-selecting files/folders and creating a file-sharing link like Dropbox offers to whoever has the link or the link+passcode combo. This has set iCloud and Dropbox far apart. This could be ok to share some simple files with few family members, but this sharing function has make it barely usable for business purpose. (2) No Document Management and Version Tracking Features iCloud only provides the bare minimum basic file storage function and does not offer version management functions like Dropbox does. The version management function is actually very important to make iCloud usable for business.

Reason for choosing iCloud

Just because I use iPhone and iCloud provides other good functions for personal phone uses such as background backup. If only consider business functionality, iCloud is much less ideal compared to Dropbox.

### "iCloud: Your Reliable Cloud-based Solution for Data Management"

June 16, 2023

5.0

I got to use iCloud for data management and collaboration during my internship at the university's Department of Pharmaceutical Development and Research. I was able to view and sync crucial files and research material with ease across all of my Apple devices because to the flawless connectivity. Critical research documents might be safely stored and backed up in the cloud, guaranteeing their accessibility and security. Real-time cooperation with my team members was made possible by iCloud's collaboration tools, which also made it easier to track our progress and communicate effectively. Overall, iCloud proven to be a dependable and approachable tool for organizing, synchronizing, and working together on data for pharmaceutical research.

Pros

A number of useful features that iCloud provides make it a well-liked option for data management and synchronization. Its seamless connection with Apple products is one of its primary benefits, enabling users to view and sync their files, images, contacts, and more across various devices with ease. Users may safely save their data in the cloud using iCloud, giving them piece of mind and guaranteeing data backup. Users can share files and work together in real time using the platform's collaborative tools. Along with iCloud Drive, iCloud Keychain, and Find My, iCloud easily connects with other Apple services to create a full ecosystem for managing and securing your digital life.

Cons

Despite the many advantages of iCloud, there are a few things to take into account. First off, iCloud's free storage tier has a maximum capacity, so users who want more space may have to upgrade to a paid plan. Although they are rare, some users have occasionally encountered syncing problems or delays. Another major drawback of iCloud is that it was developed exclusively for Apple products, which limits its interoperability with non-Apple platforms. Additionally, for customers who are new to the Apple ecosystem, there may be a learning curve for the advanced iCloud services like iCloud Drive and collaboration tools. Despite these minor flaws, Apple users continue to find iCloud to be a dependable and practical cloud-based option.

### "Among the top cloud storage options"

December 27, 2023

5.0

For backing up and saving my stuff on the cloud, iCloud is quite helpful. It helps me free up phone storage, and I now only keep on my phone the files and documents that I typically need for offline access.

Pros

It's really easy and efficient to use iCloud to save all of my documents, photos, videos, audio files, and contact information on the cloud. There is no restriction on the size of files that can be uploaded to the storage, regardless of their size. As long as I use the same Apple ID on both phones, switching between my old and new phones is seamless and I can retrieve my data.

Cons

Using this program to manage emails and files is a real pain. The search function displays results far too slowly, and frequently returns results that have nothing to do with the phrase I typed. In addition to being sluggish, the synchronized process requires some time to load on my other device.

February 19, 2022

5.0

I have had to exchange everything from pictures to website templates to video and audio files and have never had an issue storing these files in iCloud, accessing them, or sharing them. I regularly use a competitor too because that's what we use at work, but have had issues in the past with files looking like they were uploaded fine and then finding the folder empty or the sharing link permissions switched. I never have these problems with iCloud.

Pros

It's so easy to access my iCloud files and projects between all my devices. It's integrated right into the system and sharing features.

Cons

The only con I can see is the difference in pricing compared to similar cloud storage options.

It has been a wonderful way to store and securely keep data, documents, pictures, etc. I find it to be the most effective cloud storage in the market and would not choose any other platform for my apple devices.

Pros

It has a cheap cost per month to store up to 50gb which is usually all I need. This allows me to store all of my pics and documents within one space but on each of my devices.

Cons

I wish there was a segway between the 50gb and the next option up. Google cloud offers more versatile pricing options.

### "A Little Monopolized"

April 13, 2023

4.0

I switched from an android to Apple and suddenly for less storage, I had to pay more, which was frustrating. Besides that, there have been no fault with the technology. iCloud definitely will get the job done and is such a common medium.

Pros

iCloud is fantastic at connecting with all of your Apple devices and synchronizing quickly. Apple is always very good at connecting your devices and fulfills all of the basic necessities for cloud storage. Great encryption as well.

Cons

Apple has such an influential name and brand following that they do not always hold up to competition. There are many other forms of storage that can hold much more than iCloud does and has greater capabilities for a lesser price, or even offer way more for the free version. iCloud is so ingrained within any apple device that the company can offer less without backlash.
