iCloud for Windows

Cloud storage and computing program

Apple Inc. developed iCloud, a cloud storage and computing platform. It protects all your documents on both Apple devices and Windows computers. This allows you to access your files on any device that has iCloud installed. You will need iOS 5 or OS X Lion 107.5 to use iCloud. It is also available on Windows 8 and higher. Once your files have been saved to the cloud, you can view, edit, and share the same file across multiple devices. You can also create new folders and files from iCloud-enabled applications. iCloud's automatic storage feature ensures that you always have the most recent version of any file on all devices.

iCloud will store documents, images, and other data that are generated by iCloud-enabled applications in a variety storage plans. The lowest storage plan is 5GB, while the most powerful is 2TB. Four users can share space with each other if they have 200GB to 2TB of storage. All iCloud accounts automatically integrate with the Apple ecosystem. Once you sign in with your Apple ID, native Apple apps like Photos, iCloud Drive, and Find my iPhone will be backed-up.

iCloud Photos protects your photos and videos in the cloud while simultaneously updating your Apple devices. All changes made to one device, such as adding, deleting or editing photos, will be immediately visible on all other devices. iCloud Photos is useful when you have a lot of media. It will organize them into years, months, and days. The Memories and People feature has been updated to allow you to quickly find the person or event you are looking for.

iCloud Drive does not mean iCloud. It acts as a bridge between your files and iCloud.com. The web-based version iCloud can be used on both your iOS and macOS devices. However, it is particularly important for accessing files on Windows devices. The macOS version of iCloud is the best as it automatically saves files and folders to your Mac desktop devices. Once synced, all your devices can upload, download and share files.

iCloud syncs all devices that you have signed in with your Apple ID. It can also use your email address to locate your iPhone. The application can also locate iPads and iPad Touches as well as Apple Watches, AirPods and Mac computers. The map will show the location of your device. To lock your device, you can activate Lost Mode. You can also remotely erase personal information. Once you are closer, you can activate your alarm so that the device you are looking for makes a sound.

You only need an Apple ID and a compatible phone to use iCloud. After logging in, choose your storage plan to start syncing. This program is best for users who depend on Apple devices. iCloud automatically backs up your files across multiple devices and in its web storage. It is ideal for people who want to backup all their files on a regular basis. It is also useful that iCloud uses the same cloud computing technology as Google to locate your device in the event of loss.
