Overall Satisfaction with Apple iCloud
Apple iCloud does data backup seamlessly. I'm already using an iPhone, iPad, AppleTV and a MacBook. Apple iCloud keeps them all synchronized. I can access my photos, contacts, calendar, notes, etc., on all my devices with the confidence that they're all updated. Simply put, once I selected to do iCloud, I don't think about synching things up anymore. It's just done behind the scenes.
Pros
- Synchronized Calendar
- Synchronized Contacts
- Synchronized Photos
Cons
- Would like the ability to have a folder on the desktop to auto upload to iCloud Drive
- Would be nice to be able to share links with people like Dropbox for file sharing within iCloud Drive
- Unclear how to not synch select photos
- Built into Apple devices. It's one less expense to worry about.
- Apple devices are more expensive, but ease of use and features such as iCloud are huge value adds.
Apple iCloud is great for keeping me on the same page with all of my devices as far as photos, contacts, calendars, etc., are concerned. However, Box or Dropbox are easier to use for collaboration. I like the ability in Dropbox or Box to have a folder on my desktop that auto-shares files with my colleagues and clients. I use both services.
