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. ----- ### "A service that works weel even if limited" — 4.0/5 > **Philippe** | *July 26, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: iCloud is a must for anyone with an iPhone, iPad or Mac computer. Since all of Apple's ecosystem is tighly intergrated with iCloud, it's a no brainer to use it instead or dropbox or onedrive on these products. The customer support is also very good. > > **Cons**: The fact that the free space is limited to 5gb of free for all shared devices is a very little, specially since the device backups are stored in icloud. ----- ### "Good Storage" — 4.0/5 > **Mackenzie** | *July 5, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything is in one spot and backs up automatically. It makes it easier to not have to remember to do it. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the internet connection is too low and it with freeze the download and sometimes has to reboot ----- ### "Solution for extra storage" — 3.0/5 > **Khiana** | *July 25, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that my files (photos, notes, documents) can be shared across various devices easily - both work and personal devices. I also like that when I upgrade to a new Apple product, I can just sign back into my iCloud and have everything set up easily\! > > **Cons**: When my iCloud was full it deleted my items (files from my work computer as well as photos from my personal phone) without notifying me that this was going to happen. When I called Apple support, they let me know my items were gone and there was no way to retrieve them. They do not notify you when items will be deleted, only when your iCloud storage is full. When I needed to upgrade my iCloud storage, I found there was no in-between option. I wish there were more scaled options or you could create your own package of what amount of storage you'd like to purchase. It's expensive to be paying $14 with taxes every month for extra storage however, I had no choice but to upgrade so my devices would function properly. With low storage space, they were glitching. > > I appreciate that iCloud allows me to easily access my files across devices and allows extra storage without needing to upgrade to a new device. The support agents are always friendly and do their best to help when I contact Apple. I wish it was less expensive and you would be notified before items are removed. ----- ### "Good and expensive" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *February 12, 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like about iCloud is the automatic backups, photo and video security and the space optimization. > > **Cons**: What I don´t like about iCloud it´s the limited free storage and that is not compatible with no apple systems. > > My iverall experince is good with the convenience of automatic, secure, ecosystem-wide syncing but no having the opportunity to have the same space that my phone has , it´s weird ----- Page: 1 / 80\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/204717/icloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
