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 ----- ### "1A Reliable Way to Keep My Memories and Files Safe" — 5.0/5 > **Manpreet** | *5 July 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: iCloud has been one of the easiest cloud storage services I've used. Since my first smartphone was an iPhone, it has automatically backed up my photos, documents, contacts, and notes without much effort. Some of my favorite memories, including childhood photos of my niece and pictures from trips with my husband, are safely stored in iCloud. File sharing is simple, and restoring my data when switching devices has always been smooth. The learning curve is minimal because everything works seamlessly in the background. > > **Cons**: 1The biggest drawback is the limited free storage, which fills up quickly if you take lots of photos and videos. I also wish storage management and pricing were a bit more flexible for users who only need a small amount of extra space. > > Overall, I've had a great experience using iCloud. It has become my go-to backup solution for important photos, documents, and personal files. I appreciate not having to worry about losing my data if I change or reset my phone. The service is reliable, easy to use, and integrates perfectly with Apple devices. While the free storage could be more generous, the convenience and peace of mind make iCloud worth using. ----- ### "icloud is necessary" — 5.0/5 > **Melissa** | *23 June 2026* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It stores my extra information on my phone that I need and dont have enough space for like photos and videos > > **Cons**: it cost more and more money depending on the amount of storage you need and you end up having to pay if you dont want to delete. > > overall its a positive because I want to keep the data i have with the memories I have so I will continue to pay ----- ### "Storage is expensive" — 3.0/5 > **Faith** | *12 July 2026* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I can log into my account and switch everything over to another device with everything saved. > > **Cons**: I dislike that the storage fills up quickly. I struggle with trying to figure out how to manage storage between multiple devices. ----- ### "Great but stingy" — 4.0/5 > **Sean** | *29 May 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use, that it works across all my devices with pretty much no set up, perfectly ideal for my business. > > **Cons**: Compared to other cloud based services you really don't get much for your money in terms of storage. The likes of Amazon, Microsoft and Google surpass iCloud by a country mile. > > Very good to sync data effortlessly with all my devices, MacBook, iPad and iPhone. Its saved me a couple occasions whilst in a meeting I left a file on my MacBook that I wanted to share with a client, fortunately it was on my iCloud and I could access it no problem. ----- 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
