I store A LOT of my files on it as well as all of my photos\! It makes it really easy to find what I need when I need it due to the ease of file organization. It’s a very easy learning curve. > > **Cons**: Currently I don’t really have a Con, but my concern is that in the future the cost will increase. Right now it’s inexpensive and a great value for the cost but I’m afraid that the price will increase and then I will have to move everything. > > Overall it’s really simple to use, I highly trust that everything is where I put it, and my favorite part is that if my devices (or multiple devices) are damaged or lost, I can just log in from a different device and find my saved items AND do a restore from my device backups. It provides peace of mind for me\! ----- ### "Review for icloud" — 5.0/5 > **Crysta** | *November 30, 2025* | Insurance Software | 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. ----- ### "Apple tool given for iPhones" — 3.0/5 > **Victoria** | *March 10, 2026* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Either can store pictures and files from your phone on iCloud and it uploads from your phone automatically. > > **Cons**: I feel like it does not provide enough storage and you have to pay for storage, which usually starts out cheap and then you have to get into the higher ranges later on. I also don’t like it will automatically store after you’re out of storage and you may lose pictures. > > My overall experience has been decent with iCloud. I’m glad it’s there. I just don’t like that you have to pay once you are over your storage limit. ----- ### "Solid, reliable but a tiny bit outdated." — 5.0/5 > **Gareth** | *April 16, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The simplicity of using iCloud is its most positive feature; very easily synchronises with all Apple devices and allows simple organising of files and folders. It also comes with the Apple reputational badge so you know it has been rigorously tested and is going to be super reliable. I have been using iCloud for nearly 15 years and I have never experienced a single bug issue or even an error message. And that is across all platforms. The price (a rolling monthly subscription) is fair and has never been hike dup out of the blue. Solid, reliable, dependable would be my descriptors for iCloud. > > **Cons**: This is going to be such an oft-repeated grumble as to maybe dip into the realms of cliche but I’m going to go there anyway; Apple’s walled garden ecosystem makes sharing, integrating and working alongside other platforms a troublesome business. It always feels, and this is just a personal feeling, that Apple will put up as many barriers as possible to make this process annoying enough that you continue to reside in their (heavily) garden. An example; if I want to share a file stored on iCloud, through my iPad I am only given DropBox as a sharing option. It takes a multitude of clicks and questions before I can share with my Proton Drive account. That all feels a little bit 2014. > > I would say that for over a decade I was very happy with iCloud but in the last few years I have migrated away to other platforms. Ones that offer full end to end encryption and are not locked into one ecosystem. I still have my iCloud account, still pay the small monthly fee but I am in the process of moving my email account and folders to different platforms. ----- ### "Great product, low price." — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *June 6, 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 / 80\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/100325/icloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/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
