iCloud is a great way to create a backup of your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The procedure is quick, and you can even make the backup automated.
If you own an Apple iPhone or Mac, iCloud is a great platform to store images, videos, and other files that lets users access the same files on multiple Apple devices. The trick is the iCloud account needs to be registered with an Apple ID that users need while setting up an iPhone or Mac. By default, iCloud offers 5GB of free cloud storage, but users can extend the plan by paying a premium. Apple iPhone, iPad, and Macs also have the option to automatically back up photos, so that users do not have to upload files manually every month.
