Considered Both Products	Apple iCloud Tip Iuliucci Realtor / Team Lead Chose Apple iCloud Google Drive is clunky in my opinion. I feel like OneDrive syncs with my PC better. Incentivized Helpful? Scott Strader North America IT Support Manager Chose Apple iCloud Overall they are lightyears above Androids. Most companies are moving to only allow Apple devices because of how simple they are to manage and upgrade Incentivized Helpful? Justin Beckett Creative Design Director Chose Apple iCloud The biggest thing is Apple doesn't lose versions and changes. With Office 365 and various Google corporate programs, they would track versions — but not well. If someone sat with a file open and later closed it after a colleague had made changes, some of those changes would get … Incentivized Helpful? AP Adam Prose Service Manager Chose Apple iCloud Competitively priced, sometimes less expensive depending on storage needs. Apple iCloud is much easier to use on a macintosh computer since it is built into the operating system. Incentivized Helpful? Jeff Terrell Senior Pastor Chose Apple iCloud As I have mentioned, the seamless integration across Apple's ecosystem is what keeps us using this product. However, the robust value of the Microsoft 365 Business Premium suite and functionality of their AI companion - Copilot - makes it superior at an organization level. The … Incentivized Helpful? Shawn Dehner Owner Chose Apple iCloud For me Apple iCloud is the superior choice. Google Drive is acceptable but it feels much less safe (to me). I disliked MS Azure and would never use that system. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Apple iCloud Apple iCloud allows to track devices when lost and uses end-to-end encryption for data such as iMessages of Health data. It also includes features of shared albums to optimize storage and can access these items through any Apple device in a quick and efficient way. Incentivized Helpful? Aaron Henderson Marketing Specialist Chose Apple iCloud Egnyte was a good system, but there were two things that I didn't like. One, once your data was in their server, it was in their server. It came across as you did not have control or even ownership of it anymore - plus you had to maintain the payments to them, or it was all … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Apple iCloud Dropbox is more universal but has a higher price point that Apple iCloud and google while mid price point offers more options in software that allows for file editing and sharing directly in the document. Apple iCloud does not have that on offer. Apple iCloud is the lowest … Incentivized Helpful? CP Chetan Patel Head sales Chose Apple iCloud Nowadays local storage are having a lot of bottleneck and upgrading process require time and money, iCloud are one of the safest and most secure platforms, its End User License Policy is in favor of customer and reliability.

Doug Fish Finance Director Chose Apple iCloud Google Drive is similar to Apple iCloud, but since I prefer Apple products and have operated within the Apple ecosystem for many years, I use iCloud. Some clients who don't use Apple share documents with me in Google Drive so I have experience with the product, but I prefer … Incentivized Helpful? TM Thomas Myers Associate Chose Apple iCloud Dropbox is the king of cloud environments, and where Apple iCloud should go to. I have tried others but don't even remember their names now. We have our own personal cloud as well. I have used cloud environments since 2007 and would love to see Apple iCloud step up to a full … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Apple iCloud While I have to use Dropbox on occasion, I greatly prefer to use iCloud for file sharing. I also have used Google's Apps, and because I'm a Mac/iPhone user, iCloud has more easily fit into the normal routine of what I'm already doing and using. Dropbox has some minor features … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Apple iCloud Apple iCloud is specially made for iOS devices. Nothing and no one will ever be able to service an Apple product's needs better than Apple themselves. The Apple iCloud software is designed specifically for iOS devices, ease of use, and mindless security for automatic backups. … Incentivized Helpful? Justin Moore Assistant Director of Admissions Chose Apple iCloud The basic premise among these is the same. Where Apple iCloud stands apart for our team is that there is not a separate app to be downloaded to access these features on most phones or tablets (most of our staff has iPhones, and we provide iPads). This allows everyone to obtain … Incentivized Helpful? MK Matt Kennicott Vice President of Communications Chose Apple iCloud The security and functionality of iCloud beats out any other products I've tried. While two-factor authentication is available elsewhere, Apple seems to take security a step further with notifications across all devices. In addition, the pricing is right - the low cost of 1TB … Incentivized Helpful? Sandy Hinding Systems Administrator iOS/OSX (Casper Suite) Chose Apple iCloud We have found that Google Backup & Sync and Apple iCloud between them have all the bases covered. While Google is excellent for many things, as an Apple-centric environment, we utilize both systems. Between them, we have been able to reduce our expensive on-prem file storage … Incentivized Helpful? Joshua Melder Customer Account Manager Chose Apple iCloud Overall, iCloud performs quite well against some of its larger competitors.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Apple iCloud Did not evaluate other products like Apple iCloud.... Incentivized Helpful? Rene Agredano Advocacy Journalist and Co-Founder Chose Apple iCloud Amazon AWS interface is clunky and too unintuitive for me. It's like going from a Mac to a Windows machine. YUCK.

User Testimonials
	Apple iCloud	NooBaa
Likelihood to Recommend	iCloud is also great to keep access to photos synced across devices. Ex: I can snap a photo at a job site and have access to that photo on my desktop when I return to my office. I can then drop the photo into a document that is stored in iCloud and have instant access to that document on my iPad at a client's office later in the day. Seamless transitions make life much easier. Incentivized Doug Fish Finance Director Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Syncing files, appointments, Notes and contacts. If I'm away from home, and set an appointment using my phone, that appointment automatically updates real time to my home laptop and vice-versa. It stores files (e.g photos) nicely Once it's set up, it's fairly easy to use. Incentivized Michelle Braun Learning & Organizational Development Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Customization - iCloud is great at the stuff it does well. But it lacks features that some competitors (in Google Drive or Dropbox) do really well. API support for third-party apps is really great for some other people. Remote use - Managing or accessing information from iCloud while not on one of your logged-in apple devices can sometimes be an issue. From a work computer for example. It doable, but the experience is much less user-friendly. Ability to edit documents on the cloud similar to google docs or some other competitors Incentivized Gavin Scott-Miller IT Consultant Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	It's so seamless that I can't imagine another product doing a better job synchronizing all of my devices. I simply do not think about it at all. Everything happens behind the scenes and I'm confident that Apple keeps my data safe and secure. I'm a happy customer as far as this is concerned. I have not had a bad experience with this service. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	While it may be great to use with other Apple products, I find it's an absolutist-style workflow to be debilitating and to lead to many problems. When you sign into the cloud, it completely takes over your device in many ways that you don't notice at first until there is a problem. Incentivized Shelby Bowden Graduate Research Assistant Read full review	No answers on this topic
Performance	Occasionally, large files that haven't yet been synced require a few minutes to pull down but I've rarely noticed delays. It does a good job of keeping data cached on my local machines while updating them with changes from other machines transparently. Incentivized Jeff Eaton Senior Digital Strategist Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	I never used Apple iCloud support, but have never needed to do so. It has become more of a personal issue with computers in my organization, where the business solution has been with Dropbox. I do have to admit when my Mac went down, having things on Apple iCloud did help to get things restored. However, since I had more than one photo file for my Business and Personal data, I was not able to recover my Business Photos. Apple iCloud should have been able to do this. Incentivized TM Thomas Myers Associate Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	As I have mentioned, the seamless integration across Apple's ecosystem is what keeps us using this product. However, the robust value of the Microsoft 365 Business Premium suite and functionality of their AI companion - Copilot - makes it superior at an organization level. The same could be said for Google AI (Gemini) as well as their cloud services like Drive. Incentivized Jeff Terrell Senior Pastor Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	The ability to access saved content across devices no matter where I am located reduces missed opportunities to share and collaborate. The version history has allowed my team to re-visit previous renditions when errors occur - saving valuable time determining the root cause. The cloud reduces the number of physical documents one must remember when traveling for work. Incentivized Joshua Melder Customer Account Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
