It lets users create multiple folders, rename them and add color-coded tags to organize files as per individual preferences. iCloud enables administrators to share files and configure permission rights, restricting specific users to view, share or edit information. It lets users synchronize data across all devices for applications, such as iCal, Contacts, Reminders and Safari. Additionally, team members can collaborate and receive real-time updates on documents, presentations and spreadsheets. iCloud uses two-factor authentication and sends temporary verification codes to trusted devices, allowing users to sign-in on multiple devices. It is available on monthly pricing and support is extended via documentation, phone and other online measures. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 1969 users.

It also backs up my information, making it easy to restore everything when I switch to a new phone. This saves time and helps ensure that important data is not lost > > **Cons**: iCloud helps me store photos, documents, and other important data, and it makes it easy to transfer everything to a new phone. However, the free storage space is limited, and I often receive notifications to upgrade my storage plan, which requires a monthly payment > > If iCloud storage were free and did not require a monthly subscription, it would be wonderful for Apple users. People could store more photos, videos, and documents without worrying about running out of space or paying extra fees. ----- ### "iCloud for small busineess" — 5.0/5 > **Julie** | *18 November 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I just changed from android to the iPhone and I am new to iCloud. I am beginning to use it so I am in the learning stages. So far I can save all my transferred documents in the Cloud and I am learning to store my pictures in there as well. So far everything is saving well and I can find everything I put in there. > > **Cons**: Well navigating has been a challenge because I am new to the Apple way of doing things. I believe, as this software is designed to create, save and share I will soon be able to do everything needed to drive my business. > > So far, as I am learning, I have had a good experience with this tool. I am encouraged and look forward to organizing my small business and growing my clientele and marketing practices. ----- ### "Steadfast and True\! Apple is the OG\!" — 5.0/5 > **Lance** | *9 June 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and consistent. Apple has and always will be a power player. I have had an iphone for so long idk what I would do without it\! > > **Cons**: The cost for adding more cloud storage however it really is much more effective than paying any other service for the same memory. ----- ### "Automatic Backup" — 3.0/5 > **Charles-Stephen** | *17 June 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The backup and synchronization of data are very interesting compared to Google Drive. To secure your files and find them easily, it is one of the best software. > > **Cons**: The free storage is very limited, which quickly forces you to pay. It works mainly within the Apple ecosystem, so it is not very practical with other devices. ----- ### "A Digital Blessing from Above" — 5.0/5 > **Trinidad** | *10 March 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Apple's iCloud is an incredible platform and I use it throughout the day every single day. I really love and appreciate that all my data and files are safe, secure, and easily accessible. > > **Cons**: iCloud has very limited storage and regularly really encourages the user to upgrade and purchase more terabytes of storage space. It very much feels necessary since the initial free storage offered fills up fast. > > Overall I think iCloud is a very valuable and extremely useful platform and service. It's very intuitive and easy to learn and use from the start. ----- Page: 1 / 80\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/103817/icloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/103817/icloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
