iCloud secrets
How to get the most out of your cloud storage
Apple’s iCloud service allows all of our connected devices to communicate with each other, sharing data, files, documents and pictures so that they can be accessed anywhere. Evidence of this, beyond the behind-the-scenes syncing, can be found in your iOS Files app. Open this and tap on ‘iCloud Drive’ to see all of your stored files. You can even instantly access files on your Mac by going to System Preferences>iCloud, clicking ‘Options’ next to iCloud Drive and enabling the ‘Desktop & Documents Folders’ option - although be warned, you’ll need a lot of iCloud storage space to utilise this feature! Here we examine some of the other aspects of iCloud that you need to be aware of to get the most out of the service.
