Overall Satisfaction with Apple iCloud

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.

Pros

  • 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 has allowed us one large cloud storage for larger company files
  • lowest price point for cloud storage out there but again harder for non Apple users in the company therefore we still have to use alternatives too
  • often find that it wants to store things not needing to be stored and having to log out wastes valuable time just to download shared files from contributors
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 price point this far for what it offers it makes sense if you just are looking for easy share of stored files and large cloud Gigs.

Yes

Are you happy with Apple iCloud's feature set?

Yes

Did Apple iCloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Apple iCloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Apple iCloud again?

Yes

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.
