Also my phone camera takes professional images of my art to upload to my website. I store hundreds of these images in iCloud. This is a great business convenience for me. > > **Cons**: I don't always remember my password when needed and it's difficult to remember it because I create lengthy passwords. > > I've been using it for over ten years. I've always loved taking many pictures and videos so it's great to have iCloud storage. I like using iCloud on my computer to control my contacts, delete files I've downloaded that I no longer need and other everyday functions to keep my iPhone clean up from clutter. ICloud also includes email. ----- ### "Review for icloud" — 5.0/5 > **Crysta** | *30 November 2025* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use iPhone, iPad, Mac (or other Apple hardware), so iCloud works very smoothly. Files, photos, backups, settings, and app data sync automatically across my devices. Data stored in iCloud is encrypted, and with features like two-factor authentication, it offers a reasonable degree of security and protection. > > **Cons**: The free tier is often insufficient for photos, videos, backups, and everyday use. I quickly hit the limit and need to upgrade. > > If you own iPhone, Mac, or an iPad and you like convenience, having your photos, files, messages, and backups automatically synced and backed up, iCloud is arguably one of the easiest and most “set-and-forget” ways to manage your data. I enjoy using it daily. ----- ### "The seamless got a price\!\!" — 3.0/5 > **Johnathan** | *23 November 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: My favorite part of iCloud is that it offers a seamless cloud storage and file management across all my Apple devices. There is no difficulty in using it. File backup for a new device is always smooth. > > **Cons**: iCloud's pricing can stop boring me. For someone like me who takes a thousand photos and videos per day, the cloud storage fills up fast so Apple's malicious payment system can take place. > > I have been using iCloud since I got my first iPhone, a 6s, and I am still using it. Sharing files across devices or with friends smoothly keeps me using it. ----- ### "iCloud Stays Ahead of the Competition" — 5.0/5 > **Haliee** | *14 April 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the seamless integration of photos, passwords, keychains, browser data, backups, and other media into my other Apple (and even Windows) devices. > > **Cons**: I dislike that iCloud isn't a little more transparent about deleting things from your device ALSO deleting it from the cloud (think individual pictures, etc.) and I think options should be available to download photos in BULK as a direct download or compressed file, torrent, etc. > > I've been using Apple and iCloud as a consumer since the mid 2000s or early 2010s. I also worked in an IT/Retail environment providing support to Apple devices and iCloud overwhelmingly beat the competitors in terms of automatic backups without data loss. (As long as you know your password and have some sort of 2FA option enabled) ----- ### "Great product, low price." — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *6 June 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the amount of cloud storage I receive for the low cost each month. My files feel secure and I have ample storage. > > **Cons**: It sometimes has a slow load time for items and files that I need to download from the cloud onto my device. > > I have liked my experience with iCloud. I think especially for use with Apple products like iPhone and Macbooks, it is a great way to store files in both the professional and personal setting. ----- Page: 1 / 79\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/100325/icloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/100325/icloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
