iCloud is built into every Apple device. That means all your stuff — photos, files, notes and more — is safe, up to date and available wherever you are. And it works automatically, so all you have to do is keep doing what you love. Everyone gets 5GB of free iCloud storage to start, and it’s easy to add more at any time.
With iCloud Photos, you can browse, search and share all the photos and videos from any of your devices, whether they were taken yesterday or years ago.
To save space on your devices, the original, full‑resolution photos you take are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You’ll still always have a lightweight version of every photo on your device, and you can download the originals whenever you need them.
Shared Albums lets you create albums for trips, events or whatever you want. Simply choose the friends and family members who can see, comment and add their own photos and videos.
The files you keep safe in iCloud Drive are easy to get to, no matter which device you’re using. You can access all your files from the Files app on iOS, the Finder on your Mac, File Explorer for Windows PCs, or iCloud.com.
iCloud Drive lets you organize your files with folders, rename them and tag them with colours. And when you make a change, the update is made across all your devices. You can even have everything in your Mac Desktop and Documents folders automatically available in iCloud Drive.
With iCloud Drive it’s easy to invite people to work on a file with you. Just send a private link. No creating copies, managing versions or adding email attachments.
iCloud automatically keeps apps — including Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Safari and some of your favourite apps from the App Store — updated across all your devices. So when you add a new phone number, bookmark a website or update a slide in a presentation, the change appears everywhere.
Work with others on documents, presentations and spreadsheets, and see edits as they’re made. With live updates on all your devices, your collaborators will always be on the same page.
iCloud automatically backs up your iOS devices when they’re connected to power and Wi-Fi. So if you lose your device or get a new one, you’ll have all the things that matter without missing a beat.1
iCloud makes moving your settings, photos, apps and documents to a new device seamless. Just sign in to iCloud when you set up your new device, and you’ll be ready to go in minutes.
Two‑factor authentication is an extra layer of security designed to ensure that only you can access your account. That means your account can only be accessed on devices you trust, like your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
The right amount of storage depends on how you and your family members want to use your devices. Everyone gets 5GB of free iCloud storage to get started and it’s easy to upgrade at any time. Your apps and iTunes purchases don’t count toward your iCloud storage space, so you need it just for things like photos, videos, files and device backups.
