Since I got the Icoud account and saved my mobile data in it, i haven’t worried about contact or data loss. Moreover, I can easily search for my data in Icloud account anywhere or anytime from computer or Laptop or I can add any data from computer/ laptop to Icloud and can check it on Iphone.

Besides icloud, I’m also using some other kind of storage online such as : Dropbox…. to store all important information in my phone :)

iCloud is free for upto 5GB with the option of paying for additional storage. Since I migrated away from iOS I’ve become quite at home on Google Drive and Dropbox, which i use on my laptop also.

depends what you use it for although it should be noted iCloud is not a hard drive like service like GDrive it’s pretty much locked down to Apples infrastructure (or walled as the correct term is) which kinda blows, a good deal of applications support Google Drive (15GB free) or Dropbox (I’m at around 5GB free now) or even Copy (I have 30GB free with these guys.)

They are not the same thing, while they are in terms of description. Dropbox is about file storage, iCloud is about apple account related storage: email, apps, movies, photos iCloud is really only useful between Apple users while dropbox is less about account information and more about file storage.

noted krisstoffer and thanks for the information.  icloud seems of a better advantage (usage and purpose) than dropbox, but why is the latter seems more famous and widely used?

Dropbox acts as a cloud based hard drive, in that I can upload photos and send them to anyone via link and they can then download/view them accordingly iCloud is very much for you and not so much for external sharing.

Thanks for the information!

I wasn`t very confident iCloud was worthy to be tried, but I think I would give it a chance. For the moment, I`m quite satisfied with Dropbox. If something isn`t working correctly, I return to old GoogleDrive and that`s all about uploading and transfering: simple and fastSmile

In all honesty, I hate iCloud. I like the concept but hate the application of it. I especially dislike how it stores in clumps meaning you don’t choose which books get stored in the cloud, its all or nothing for each category. And while iCloud is suppose to make everything better, quicker and more succinct for me it has the opposite effect.If I want something stored online i’ll continue with google Drive. And why store to the cloud when its all on iTunes still anyways.
