iCloud for Beginners: A Ridiculously Simple Guide to Online Storage

A beginners guide to moving to the cloud. iCloud is something that Apple doesnt talk a lot about but is perhaps their biggest service. Its estimated that nearly 850 million people use it. The thing about it however is many people dont even know theyre using it. What exactly is it? If you are familiar with Google Drive then the concept is something you probably already understand. Its an online storage locker. But its more than that. It is a place where you can store files and it also syncs everything-so if you send a message on your iPhone it appears on your MacBook and iPad. If you work on a Keynote presentation from your iPad you can continue where you left off on your iPhone. iCloud has become even more powerful as our photo library grows. Photos used to be relatively small but as cameras have advanced the size goes up. Most photos on your phone are several MB big. iCloud means you can keep the newest ones on your phone and put the older ones in the cloud. It also means you dont have to worry about paying for the phone with the biggest hard drive-in fact even if you have the biggest hard drive theres a chance it wont fit all of your photos. This short book will help new users navigate their way around the cloud service.
