Storage fills up fast so normally have to pay a monthly fee > > It has been good I have used it on my iPad and iPhone to store photos and especially large files and videos ----- ### "A little Mysterious but Useful" — 4.0/5 > **Marc** | *15 May 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about iCloud is how seamlessly it integrates across Apple devices. It creates a smooth, connected experience where photos, files, notes, and backups automatically sync between devices without needing manual effort. That level of convenience makes it easy to stay organized and access content from anywhere. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about iCloud is that it can feel somewhat restrictive, especially if you’re working outside of the Apple ecosystem. While it works seamlessly across Apple devices, its functionality is more limited on non-Apple platforms, which can create challenges when trying to share files or collaborate with users who rely on other systems. > > My overall experience with iCloud has been positive, particularly because of how seamlessly it integrates within the Apple ecosystem. It provides a consistent and reliable way to store, sync, and access files, photos, and backups across devices without requiring much hands-on management. Features like automatic backups, iCloud Photos, and iCloud Drive make it easy to keep important data secure and readily available, which adds a level of convenience that’s hard to overlook. ----- ### "iCloud - Your File Management Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *14 May 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: iCloud provides seamless file sharing and management integration between Apple devices making it very simple to use. At its low price point it is an excellent file management solution. > > **Cons**: The thing I liked least about iCloud is that there is at times bugs and issues with files missing. There also can be a learning curve for those not familiar with the Apple ecosystem of products. > > Overall, I have had an excellent experience with iCloud, especially when it comes to customer support. ----- ### "Eh, iCloud could be better." — 2.0/5 > **Justice** | *4 May 2026* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I can sync my photos, files, messages, and music across multiple devices. ICloud also makes it easier to communicate via wifi when cellular service is unavailable. > > **Cons**: Where do I start? There is never enough storage on your device, even though you have iCloud access. I currently pay 2.99 for additional storage, yet I still get the message that iCloud is full. If you have a device that is updated and another that isn't, the sync function is thrown off. Why can't I remove Apple apps that I do not use? > > Fix the storage issue, Apple\! Why am I paying for additional storage and still getting the message that there's no storage? ----- ### "Easy to file share to the team and extra storage space on devices" — 5.0/5 > **Tiffany** | *18 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: iCloud is easy to integrate and use across all my devices. When I run out of space on my work phone I can easily go into the cloud and still find the files I'm looking for. I can share files with my team and the learning curve is minimal. Overall a great cloud service that offers support and is affordable. > > **Cons**: I have no cons, using iCloud on all of my devices makes file sharing easy and adds unlimited storage to my devices. ----- Page: 1 / 80\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/204717/icloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/204717/icloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
