Use Apple’s iCloud like a pro

Manage your storage and keep all of your Apple devices in perfect sync.

At its base level, iCloud keeps all of your Apple devices in perfect sync. It stores all of your login items so that you don’t have to remember your passwords, updates apps on your other devices when new files are added, such as contacts, notes, emails and calendar items, and allows you to access photos and videos from any connected device. But there is also a lot more to it, which can lead to confusion and people upgrading their storage plans when they don’t necessarily need to. Every Apple user gets a free allocation of 5GB, but you can pay for larger storage plans of 50GB, 200GB and even 2TB. Of course, how you use iCloud will determine whether you need to upgrade your storage but, as you’ll discover in this feature, you’ll not need to for iOS backups alone. In this feature we’ll show you how to manage your storage effectively and provide ways to help you get more out of iCloud across all of your Apple devices.
