## Reviews

### "Welcome to My ICloud Journey" — 5.0/5

> **Chidubem** | *November 5, 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the option of cloud storage and the idea of file sharing. I like the fact that you  can managed and organize your files on iCloud with ease. It’s worth the money spent because additional storage space is most time needed. Easy to learn and start up.
> 
> **Cons**: Slow customer support sometimes. I have also Notices on rare occasions few bugs and issues. Prices could also be better.
> 
> iCloud has generally been helpful for me. My phone storage gets filled up easy and I use iCloud storage for important details. &#10;Plus to ability to retrieve infos even on your next device is cool.

### "iCloud Love it or Leave it\!" — 5.0/5

> **Joanne** | *December 14, 2025* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I enjoying being able to file share easily, it allows you quite a bit of storage space for all your photos and videos.
> 
> **Cons**: iCloud makes me nervous when I hear that hackers target ICloud. With the amount of data it holds it’s understandable why they’d be a target.
> 
> I found it rather simple to use once you got used to the interface. I would rather keep my photos on ICloud instead of my phone and it convenient for backing up your devices.

### "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.

-----

### "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.
