iCloud is a cloud storage and cloud computing service developed by Apple Inc. It allows users to store and access their data, such as photos, videos, notes, and more, from any device with an internet connection. iCloud is built into every Apple device and provides 5GB of free storage.
To upgrade to iCloud+, you can choose from various plans, including 50GB, 200GB, and 2TB, which offer additional storage and enhanced privacy features. iCloud+ includes features such as iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, Custom Email Domain, and HomeKit Secure Video.
iCloud Photos allows users to store and access their photos and videos securely, with a lifetime of original high-resolution photos and videos stored in iCloud. Shared Photo Library enables users to share photos and videos with up to five other people, and Shared Albums makes it easy to share specific photos and videos with others.
iCloud Drive provides a centralized location for storing and accessing files and folders across all devices, and iCloud Backup automatically backs up important data on iOS and iPadOS devices. iCloud.com has been redesigned for easy access and management of stored data on any device.
iCloud also offers features such as Notes, Calendar, Photos, Safari, Passwords and Keychain, and Contacts, which allow users to access and share data across devices. Additionally, iCloud Private Relay provides enhanced privacy when browsing with Safari, and Hide My Email generates unique, random email addresses for secure communication.
