Better than nothing
Overall Satisfaction with Apple iCloud
For me, Apple is a hard to like company. Over the years I've suffered a great deal of lost time and frustration with upgrades and 'no longer supported' OS making some of my 3rd party applications dysfunctional. I think the Apple iCloud service is useful to an extent but also a major nuisance if one allows it to backup local files. In my experience, you'll find yourself working on a duplicate and end up losing work for the original. It's too complicated for me to explain in a review, but let me give an example regarding the contacts application.
Pros
- Back up my passwords
- Looks nice
- Backs up my website bookmarks
Cons
- In my experience, no control over what photos to backup
- In my opinion, confusing method of backing up local files
- In my experience, Support staff is generally no better than a website
- No demonstrable business advantage for me
- I find that iMessage is useful for job communications
- For me, the Mail app is useful for archiving job-related info
