iCloud Explained: Everything You're Not Using (But Should Be)
June 23, 2022
If you use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you're probably already using iCloud, but you might not be getting nearly as much out of it as you could. This episode walks through everything iCloud can do, from backing up your phone to keeping your photos, files, and passwords synced across all your Apple devices.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- What iCloud actually is and why it's more than just storage
- How the free 5 GB plan works and when (and why) you should consider upgrading
- How iCloud Photos keeps your entire photo library available on every Apple device, without filling up your phone
- How to sync your Desktop and Documents folders so you can access them from any Mac or iOS device
- Why turning on iCloud Backup for your iPhone and iPad is one of the most important things you can do
- How the Find My feature works, including a real story about recovering a stolen iPad because it was turned on
- What iCloud Family Sharing is and how it lets you share storage and features with the people you choose
If you've been paying for iCloud storage without really knowing what you're paying for, this episode will change that.
