## Reviews

### "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

-----

### "Best storage option for IOS users" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *February 19, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: For all ios users, it is the best option to use for managing and sharing of files with a reasonable pricing in cloud storage.
> 
> **Cons**: The set up of the auto upload and sync of some documents with icloud could even be more flexible and customizable.

-----

### "Best storage for apple users" — 5.0/5

> **Chiamaka Juliet** | *November 9, 2025* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that icloud saves my contact, files, pictures and everything across all my apple products like my phone and tablet. There is this calm it provides knowing that all my files and documents are safe and will be accessed whenever i need it since the files are shared across all my apple devices.
> 
> **Cons**: I dont like that the icloud space gets full fast and it is expensive to upgrade to a higher storage.
> 
> Over all, it has been a good experience. File safety and accessibility is priority for me. As someone who uses apple products a lot, it is beneficial to me.

### "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. &#10;&#10;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.

### "Overall solid, could be more affordable" — 5.0/5

> **Devan** | *April 4, 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The storage capacity for the safety of transferring information from phone to new phone. It is good for storing old files to access afterwards.
> 
> **Cons**: The cost associated with it, the Google software’s more affordable and universal on the internet. I am not able to easily access on my browser.
> 
> Overall it is neutral, it comes built in with the devices I have. I utilize googles cloud for more photo storage.
