About iCloud
iCloud provides a secure, online platform for document and data storage that can be accessed at any time, from any device. You can use iCloud to access rich media such as TV shows, songs, photos, apps, books, and movies from all your mobile devices. You can also use the iCloud to get access to important word documents and presentations, which can be shared across applications and among devices.
iCloud also records your browsing activity in Safari, memorizing your open tabs and sharing them across your Apple devices. The app will also sync your bookmarks from Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer among your Apple devices.
You can also use iCloud to store all calendar, contacts and email data. This data will be automatically updated whenever you make a change, such as creating a new calendar event or deleting an email.
Furthermore, the iCloud app can be used to store important personal data such as passwords and credit card pin codes. The device locator and remote wiping options ensure that your data is kept safe within the iCloud app.
Share this content with friends and family using the new Family Sharing features. Parental permissions can be set up through Family Sharing so that kids need to "ask permission" before they make Apple purchases.

In my job I have to save many files, images and notes, with iCloud I can have access to all my files that I keep on my iPhone and iMac and as I take up space I buy the plan that best suits my needs, and I can access these files From any device with my Apple ID, iCloud is accessible from anywhere and from any Apple device or web browser. In my experience, iCloud has the advantage that it syncs very well across all Apple devices. makes automatic backups so my documents are always up to date.
Pros
I like iCloud since this service gives me the opportunity to save and sync files such as images. photos, documents, videos, contacts, books, audiobooks, and the best of all is that they are in a safe place, the best thing about iCloud is that it syncs very well with all apple devices and has one of the best securities compared to other cloud storage services.
Cons
I don't like that they only give 5 GB of free cloud memory, since google drive give 3 times more cloud storage.

iCloud is very useful in backing up and storing my files on the cloud space. It help me to clear my phone storage and i only store important file and document on my phone that i usually need it for offline access.
Pros
Using iCloud to saving all my contact information, photo, video, audio and document to the cloud storage is very smooth and effective with this application. It has no file size limitation on how small or big the files that i am uploading to the storage. Changing from my old phone to my new phone is no problem as i can access to my files back as long i am using the same apple id with it.
Cons
Managing the files and emails on this application is quite headache. The searching feature is too slow in showing the result and often, it returned a result that are not matching with the keyword that i have entered. The synchronized process also quite slow and takes some time for it to be shown on the my other device.

Pros
I like that my photos and data are synced with my phone and computer. I like that I can create folders to share photos with friends/family on an ongoing basis.
Cons
The base level runs out of data fairly quickly, it would be great if it was unlimited, but it's not that expensive to upgrade.

It is perhaps a good idea & can have some benefit, but more often than not, it is more of a headache with its constant reminders, etc.
Pros
I honestly only use iCloud because it's needed & typically is updated when a new phone is obtained.
Cons
I've had my own iPhone for several years but then my workplace also required use of company iPhones- that's when the problems started! The iCloud apparently got confused when I, with my ID, attempted to setup a different account for the work phone when it always wanted to return to my current, personal iPhone's iCloud.
Also, Apple always wants to continue to offer additional storage space when the phone's storage is full, plus it often fills the available space with items I may or may not even want to save!

It's very positive. It's not expensive. I have all my files synced effortlessly across my devices.
Pros
I like I have no extra things to do. Just open my computer and save files on my cloud.
Cons
I'm not sure if you can share file links easily. I've done this in the past, and I'm not sure if the thing has changed recently, but now I can't figure it out.
