The securest cloud

I use iCloud to sync mostly my contacts, passwords and bookmarks between my devices. It's perfect.

Pros

iCloud is one of the most famous services that Apple Inc offers. When you activate it, it sync contacts, photos, messages, passwords, etc between iDevices. In 10 years it never let me down and you can fully back up a device inside its cloud.

Cons

When comparing iCloud to services like Google Drive or Dropbox, the Apple cloud really loses. Is not that easy to share files between colleagues. If you need to download something, you don't have the percentage of how long the action will take. It's more expensive than other services.

Best cloud solution for Iphone, Mac users

I am using icloud almost daily for my personal cloud data movements.

Pros

I really love the simplisity and the integrations that icloud provides. If you have an iphone, mac or any other apple product or several - icloud is a best cloud solution for you.

Cons

Pricing often can be an issues, here, I would really appreciate more flexible plans and solutions for students and families.

iCloud Review

I would say overall I would give iCloud good marks and am very happy with it. I do however think only 5GBs of "basic" level storage is too little; I feel Apple should offer more! I find it very fast, efficient and stable so that makes my day personally and professional work well!

Pros

I primarily use iCloud as a storage place for passwords, contacts and a choice amount of items (photos, music, etc.) in my personal day to day world. I mostly find it to be simple and seamless but do find it fills up quick and then the philosophical questioning of should I pay for more storage and how much do I need cross my mind. As I mentioned below I had a major "merge" issue, but rank Apple's customer service in very high regards for addressing and solving problems!

Cons

I think the pricing is a bit much and there are times I prefer as much of the items I would potentially store on iCloud to simply be on my hard drive and/or phone ONLY. Call it security fear but on occasion I think that way and thus the price scares me off. I do not use a MAC anymore (back to PC) so the occasional sync issues do occur. The biggest issue I ever had personally was when I left a job, had a separate iCloud log in and had major issues merging the accounts.

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

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.

Umm get it lol

Love it and have to have it.

Pros

It holds my life. No seriously everything in one place. Photos documents it is all there when I need it and all in one place.

Cons

There has never been an issue for me. I have not had a single problem.
