iCloud Photos securely stores your photos and videos and lets you access them on all your devices and on the web at iCloud.com. With Shared Albums, it’s easy to share photos and videos with the people you choose and invite them to add photos, videos, and comments to your shared albums.

Securely store and organize your files in iCloud Drive. Access and keep them up to date across all your devices and on iCloud.com. You can also add your Mac Desktop and Documents folders to iCloud Drive so they’re available everywhere.

To start with, Apple iCloud is a collection of web services, rather than a physical device. In other words, it’s a piece of software that helps you get more out of your iPad, iPhone or Mac. And if you don’t yet own one of these shiny gadgets, iCloud might just convince you to get one.

Apple iCloud lets you store your photos, music, apps, mail and more online in a single space, accessible wherever you have an internet connection. For example, your iTunes music is stored in the cloud, meaning you can play it on your iPad when you connect to wifi in the move. What this means is that you no longer have to worry about making sure you have all your photos backed up to all your devices, or all your iTunes purchases copied across from your MacBook to your iPhone: iCloud takes care of this automatically.
