Apple iCloud - Cost effective Cloud

Rating: 10 out of 10
October 24, 2024
I use Apple iCloud in a business sense that part of the space is allocated as a backup, and it's a redundant backup. The other parts that I use are like a gigantic flash drive. In this industry, file size is huge - and having a way to share files say between home and business is a gift - and it's easy with iCloud - it's just a password that allows this!
  • Storage of Files
  • Transfer of files between sources
  • Redundant backup of files
Cons
  • I would love to see a way to partition the space in my iCloud Drive. Yes, it's already large and but I still would like that ability.
  • Cheaper would be nice
  • Shared space could be easier - between users
iCloud is always well suited to be used between Mac users, and for that matter Macs. It's a way to make sure that every file on a particular Mac can be backed up in the cloud - and with the recent disasters we have had in the south cloud backups are good - and the other good way to use this is like a gigantic flash drive - that lets me take files between home and the office.

Apple iCloud helps with my organization by allowing to store my photos, music, and overall files from all my Apple devices. The Apple iCloud allows me to sync and share my data in a fast and easy method. It is easier to backup my information, incase of the device malfunctions.
  • Stores all varieties of file types from presentations to photos.
  • I am allowed to text, listen to music, and take notes with any device as long it is in the icloud.
  • Has a feature to where i can find my Iphone, incase it is lost.
Cons
  • I believe storage pricing is a factor in deciding on which plan you want.
  • Faster downloading speed
  • Able to use offline access incase there is no to little service in the area.
I had Apple products for years and I always loved the idea that my information is always backed up. It is easier to set the device up when all your storage is still within the system. It is similar as moving to a new house where you carry your belongings to a new space.

We use Apple iCloud for storage of communal files that we can then update, share and access as a group. It addresses our storage needs for a reasonable price point. It also allows us to access and store larger files for sharing purposes such as video and image files that we then need to use for the website as well as to hold onto for future usage.
  • stores large files with ease
  • shares large files with ease
  • offers secure storage at a reasonable price
Cons
  • Harder to access on a non Apple device
  • Signs out too frequently and requires authentication on an old device
  • Could have better organization of files
It is well suited for large files and for sharing via Apple products. It is less than ideal for those in the company using alternative PC devices as login becomes more difficult and tiresome. It does offer large amounts of cloud based storage for a reasonable price point. We will often use this service for the storage of larger files such as video and image files.

iCloud allows users to upload and store the docs, photos, contacts, and emails sync. In daily business operation, it increases efficiency, cut down the risk, and works from anywhere using any Apple device. Real-time data sync allows more flexibility to use the product across the platform. Faster access to data from iCloud make daily route work easier.
  • Access the data across the devices
  • Cyber attack proof, zero risk
  • Real time data synchronization
  • Storage scalability
Cons
  • Price per user
  • Android device support
  • Offline data access
iCloud allows users to sync up whole devices with backup options in which users can switch the device and make backup available hassle-free. iOS and macOS devices are easily synced up and provide real-time effect in data storage in iCloud. Zero-touch device management makes routine jobs easy and more accurate.

I use Apple iCloud in my personal life to seamlessly sync files, appointments and contacts across my various Apple devices (laptop, iPad, & iPhone).
  • 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.
Cons
  • As long as you're using the same email address/Apple ID, things work well. It gets harder to sync across multiple devices if you have multiple Apple IDs. (Having said that, 2nd level Apple Support has some workarounds you can use)
  • Sometimes the website is difficult to navigate.
  • Occasionally (e.g. every couple of years), there are hiccups in syncing. I've never been able to figure out why.
The syncing across devices [with Apple iCloud] is pretty good. The usability of the website could be improved.
