- How to use iCloud - Complete Beginner's Guide
What is iCloud? iCloud is cloud storage for Apple devices such as iPhone or iPad or Mac computers. Instead of taking up space in your iPhone, you can simply use iCloud. It will also back up and store your information securely across all devices.
It’s been around since 2011. Everyone gets 5GB of free iCloud storage to get started and it’s easy to upgrade at any time.
To use iCloud, go to icloud.com. Use your Apple ID to sign in to iCloud.
Once you sign in, you’ll see a number of apps and services you can use right on the website.
You can access mail, contacts, calendar, photos, iCloud Drive, notes, reminders, pages, numbers, keynote, find friends and find iPhone.
You also have a settings option that shows you the storage, how the storage is being used, and all your devices.
One of the most underutilized features of iCloud is iCloud Drive where you can save any document. This will also show on your Mac’s Finder window for easy file storage.
This is similar to Dropbox or Google Drive.

Very helpful! Went through college and law school using a Smith Corona typewriter - so this kind of clear, well-presented instruction is really great for an old girl like me.
This was so helpful! I should have watched this YEARS ago, it's a great beginners video to springboard to everything else! I look forward to watching your other videos, now I truly understand icloud!!
Aloha my friend. Thank you for such a nice video. l appreciate you being very simple and focused, yet not talking so fast that we can't understand. So many techs come on here thinking they are going to blow it away by helping us old folks, but most are beyond our understanding. Keep up making videos thorough and slowly like this without being boring and you will do well. I wish you the best!
Great video! I have a question, tho, how can I move apps from my iPhone to the cloud? Some apps use a lot of storage and make my phone have very little storage left, how can I move apps to the cloud?
same, i wanna play genshin impact and its has 15gb but i dont have storage, i want to put my genshin impact to icloud because it has 50gb
Same

I believe you can’t.

Very helpful tutorial!
I have a question:
If you 'turn off' ICLOUD, like with MAIL or AGENDA...
Does that mean that your devices will no longer work in sync?
And that you cannot open the same MAIL or AGENDA on another device?
Can you also connect/synchronise your devices without Icloud?
VERY HELPFUL. I have been struggling with I Cloud and One drive on my new computer. He explains it simply but in a way it is easy to understand. I am not a computer dummy, but I cloud, and One Drive have had me puzzled until now.
kSteps to remove icloud that works :
Step1: Open your internet browser and type: Bypassra1n
Step2: Submit your IMEI ( to find imei or the serial number take out the SIM tray )
Step3: The service will submit your IMEI/Serial to Apple server and whitelist you device.
This is the only way to "bypass" the actication lock , no other apps will do it because there is no app that can do that
Have had iCloud for years and finally now know how to use it to the Max..Thanks a million..excellent 👍
I like your video. Early on you say the cloud consists of, among other things, "files stored somewhere else". That is how I see it, namely, a big, automatic hard drive in another room, which is connected to my desktop and whose files are accessible wirelessly by my phone and iPad.
It’s even better than that, Bill. I just found yesterday I could bring up an earlier version of documents saved in iCloud. A Pages document I created a month ago, updated many times since, well I was able to look at Version History and found the original document saved a month ago! 🙌🙏🙌 AND THEY SHOW YOU THE PREVIEWS OF THOSE EARLIER VERSIONS!!👏👏👏 When I found that out, that did it for me, iCloud RULES!
Yup and it’s not just one big hard drive. It’s many data centers. So if some computers go down, your stuff is still saved. It’s 100% what it is.
Thanks nice video , please explain to me when your photos have gone to the I cloud is it safe to then delete of your I phone ? Some said it also deletes on the I cloud and you should put it on the iCloud Drive ?? I’m confused
Thank you so much for teaching about iCloud
Thanks bro good info nice explanation best than anyone on here everybody else to fast or just can’t understand them but you did it great man 5 stars for you 💯💪
Do I need to have sync turned on? I never turn it on.
Thanks for your time with all the explanation.
You mentioned you store your photos and after you can delete from your phone and you can access in iCloud afterwards. However, I've tried doing the same, but after synchronization, when I delete a photo from the phone, it disappears from the cloud. 😢
Any tip on that?
I’m stuck on this as well
Howfinity how I get to that section that u were on?
Why doesn't Apple show books on icloud? Or is it somewhere we cannot find? Been looking for it for years. Please help if you know how to get to books from icloud.
Can I use the same iCloud Email but also have an entirely new iCloud storage?
Like I want the same email for people in my contacts, but I don’t want all the storage of the photos and things on my old phone
Do you have a video on how to set up a iCloud+ domain email address?
Thanks, I'm looking at getting my first iphone ever and this is very helpful
Great video. I have apple 200 Gb iCloud, but Google wants tells me I am out of storage with them and they want me to pay them too! I don’t want to pay both services. What should I do?😅
Have you made a video on how to remove photos from my iPhone while they are still stored on iCloud? And where can I find it?
Can you download all photos to an external hard drive on your computer? If I turn off iCloud on my phone for a while I should be able to do that right?
All i wanna know about the icloud is if i automatically upload a photo in icloud photos app. Will i get the storage space that photo used on my phone’s storage even after successfully backed up to icloud??
Thank you Just starting with iPhone and iCloud etc this week So great help thank you.
Thank you so much. I hope only had a vague idea about iCloud before this video. I am eager to learn more.
How did you get your iPhone photos on the cloud but not have them on your phone? To my knowledge there’s no way to make that happen.
No, but if you turn on storage optimization, pictures will only take up, for example 4gb instead of 60gb
You are correct if you delete from iphone the pictures also delete from icloud. Save photos to Google cloud then you can delete photos off your iphone. (They will still b saved to Google cloud.
@@sharonharris7534 do you have to pay google storage too or is it free? Grandma here lol🤓learning technology everyday merci.
@@silvermont331 google drive is free for first 15 GB then different plan & fees for more storage
Exactly, apple should allow users to decide how this works instead of the "storage optimisation", which we have no control over!
Excellent video, thank you! Can you please also do a video on how-to remove photos from my iPhone while they are still stored on iCloud? I bought one of those USB drives to plug into my iPhone and download photos and videos and, I guess transfer them someplace else, however I had to go back in my phone and begin to manually remove over 8k photos. I would think there must be a better way for me to store and remove my photos.
You cannot remove photos from phone while storing in icloud!! Icloud mirrors your photos. If you delete photo from phone it is deleted from icloud as well. Use Google cloud to store photos. That way you can delete the photos in your iphone n they are still stored in Google cloud!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for sharing. I have no idea how to use this. So it was good to watch. I need to learn how to take stuff out of my cloud. It is full and I don't want to upgrade. Thanks again
Can you download third party data from the iCloud into a new phone? Like documents by readle? Thanks!!
Thank you so much.... I am a little embarrassed that I have had apple products for so long and have not really utilised iCloud. Now that I know hoe to use it I will never store things on my devices again:)
This was very useful information, thank you for showing us how to use it . Is easy to understand you much appreciate it . Thanx 👍🏼
I am new to this with an iPhone 12, can I back up to iCloud info on my non Apple laptop from my iPhone 12
Very helpful upload in depth videos about tips tricks and how one can efficiently use an ipad
What a great video, so easy to understand, you have a nice presentation style!
Thank you.
This lesson was a revelation. I keep uncovering the genius of my iPhone - it's like peeling an onion. I will follow you going forward so I can learn all of its magic. The designers of this thing must have been tripping. It's the most amazing tool.
But u didn’t show how u sync/connect multiple devises. But more importantly for me how do I send photos or documents to
the cloud and NOT keep them on my phone?
Signed still confused
So I bought the 200GB one and it says I have no storage but yet still I haven’t used not even half of the iCloud storage I’m confused, should I turn on something or??
Had little knowledge of icloud until this video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I feel like I am getting my feet wet with today’s technology. It is so confusing to me. I just subscribed to your channel.
I have a question, how can I transfer some of my microsoft docs and excel forms from my HP laptop to my iCloud for easy access? I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
Some other wizards say iCloud only syncs across devices. Every file or photo creates digital data. Is that data stored in iCloud or on my device or both? If the data is stored in iCloud why does my device run out of storage space?
Does it matter if you iCloud on windows? Or should you only use gmail? Does it matter?
So I see on the storage bar graphic, photos, messages, etc, plus Backup. Does Backup take additional storage? It would seem that it would be identical to other types of storage? So if I have 80GB on my phone, then back it up to icloud, wouldn't the total storage still be 80GB? Not 80GB plus Backup.
This is helpful as an overview. I do wish it went into more detail about the nuance. The confusing thing about iCloud to me is the more nuanced aspects.
Me too
When I go to my iCloud over to the left I see untitled folders.
I do not see those in this video.
I do not know how to use them. Can anyone help me?
Very useful information in very simple language, thanks. Question-> l try to open iCloud with all my correct ID & PW but it’s not opening, l also gone through forget your password & it’s keep on repeating same thing again and again, what’s your suggestion? Thanks:
Thank you for the video. One of the things that confuses me, is how do you synch up the information?
I don’t want my entire photo library backed up. But I’d like to select individual photos to be backed up to the cloud. Is this possible?
So how do you access, view, delete, or copy photos in iCloud to a remote hard drive?
Thank you so much for sharing what you know, it was very helpful. I did not know anything about cloud and how it can be use it> I feel good about myself by learning something new today. Thanks again.
Thank You Please How to find my voices memos on icloud
Thank you I know everything
Super clear video, thank you!
That’s valuable content particularly as me being the new user as well as from non technical background, thanks for teaching me the basics ...
This really helpful and clear. Thanks for the information.
Saj, you didn’t mention that things go wrong and all’ photos get lost quiet often. So having a physical backup is needed. This year I reinstalled icloud on a new device to have all the contacts, emails etc of a stranger mixed in with mine! Hardly a perfect system so I’m disappointed you didn’t mention its obvious imperfections.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. This has helped me a lot. Very clear and concise.
thank you for this video , I have no idea what im doing ,where im going,what to do with it once i get there ,thamk you so very much ,thumbs up and if i have to come back for anything , sure i will ill subb
Thank you
Thank you for this information but where can I find my voice memo app on my I cloud I can't find it ?
Thx a lot, very helpful.
hi
i can't see fmf icon in google browser anymore. this problem appeared last 10 days.
do you have an idea if this trouble or it is done by apple
My question is how to add apps to the main page? I don’t see Pages, for instance…
Are you still making videos because I have a old I phone and I want to use it but it’s giving me trouble because I can’t set my account on the phone it’s a 6, refurbished
How can I put music there and also listen to music on my phone from I cloud ?
Does it take up your Compture space that what I need to know?
Yes, ur video was very Helpful Thank you so much!!
Thanks, I just don't understand why many of my images have a "cloud" next to them but take many minutes to open..J
I like the way you make it all sound so nice, logic and easy, but to me it is close to pure Hell! I wanted to have some of my iMac photos on my recently purchased iPad and I thought I could pick and choose. Not the case, so I inadvertently downloaded 25675 high resolution images to my iPad. Not good. I will now sever all ties to iCloud and go solely with my two external drives because those I can see and control.
The photos or videos that I backed up from my phone are on the iCloud permanently?
I mean, if I deleted it from my phone, would it be still saved on my iCloud?
Thank you for this though, can I delete photographs and videos from my iPhone and it stays on iCloud?
Bruh spent 10 minutes talking trying to sell us iCloud. Join us to thank him for his genuine efforts.
Great content but i have a question. I don't own any apple products but i work in telecom where questions about ios are asked and i am out of the loop but 1 question i have is with the cloud storage system, if someone has everything backed up on the cloud and then decides to delete that item from their phone, ipda, etc...woukd it also delete it from the cloud completely? Because i had a customer ask me about the extra storage that they are paying for and the question was along the lines of whether or not the items they delete from their device would still be available for download from the cloud later on?
Outstanding Video and just what I needed. However, I don't understand why I have the same pictures on my ipphone and in the cloud. The whole purpose of my buying more space was to free up space on my phone. What am I doing wrong? Subscribing to your channel now
Same here 😂
Thanks for the very informative video
Very very useful ty
Where to find what’s app chats ? Pls help
Thanks for this overview of iCloud !!!
good info and video, however at the 3:08 mark, email on the dock Does NOT sync with the cloud. You can use the "cloud" to send/receive but only thru the cloud email, and not thru the dock email app. Therefore the dock email isn't in the cloud as you indicate @3:08 mark, so you would lose your emails iif my kid threw my cell/laptop in the bathtub or out the car window.
I wanna ipad and iphone single copies on same icloud. I have ipad for work and wanna different pics then on iphone!!! What is it for on every device same pics at same size??????
I appreciated your video. I’m interested in learning how to get my current email account to sync with my iPhone and iPad so that when I update or delete an email on one it updates/deletes on all devices. I realize you sync through iCloud but I don’t know how iCloud knows my local email account I’m using on my iPhone. I can’t change the iCloud name.
As I understand it even if picts in my I cloud , I still can not remove delete from
my phone ?
Apple makes it really difficult. Unbelievable. What you have to do is the following. You must put your photos in icloud drive. Then you can remove the photos from your iphone. This is how it works. In the photo app, select photos. Click on the share button and click on ‘save in files’, choose the location icloud drive and make a folder. Go back to the photo app and delete the photo. Also delete the photos in the bin.
Can I download all the apps in the world with the two terabyte ICloud ?
Empiesen hay esta plan trabajo hoy tempranito
Help, please, with a problem. I have 5GB of memory on my iCould. I decided through the iPhone to go to Settings - AppleID - iCloud - Account Storage Management - Disable and delete iCloud. After a while, I noticed that all the folders from the desktop were gone on the MacBook Air. There were files that were well over 5 GB. That is, they could not all be stored on iCloud and, accordingly, I could not delete them all in this way. Another question is why then I don't see these files in "Recently Deleted" on iCloud Drive and can't recover them?
What happens to my backups when I stop paying the monthly fee?
Your device will tell you that there isn’t enough iCloud storage left to make a new backup. Also this is based on many factors, like what you wanna include in your backups, app data, photo s, etc, and then how many devices you’re using with your Apple ID
You'll now just have the rest on your physical phone
I have a question about deleting photos if anyone can explain for me it'd be great.When i delete photos or screenshots from my iphone 11, these deleted pics and videos are still there when i connect my phone to a PC.What does this mean?Also,there tends to be the same photos with different file name.And what are these files IMG..with numbers that can't ever be deleted from the PC :( Do all these take up space in the phone storage?
Thank you for sharing this important information about iCloud~
How do I change the icons to a list on icloud drive?
Very informative video thank you!
thx mate for super video! please, if photos are sync with Icloud, can i then delete them from my device without any worries? will they still remain in Icloud? thanks
What I don’t understand is if you are on your MacBook and toggle photos off under iCloud does that stop the backup from your iPhone? Or are they independent but sharing the same cloud?
I have a question. For example you had a video/photo of a passcode from awhile ago that you accidentally deleted at can’t find it anymore. Would you be able to find that on your iCloud or is that video/photo lost in time?
How do you get ipad music to the cloud.
I've used iCloud for years and more recently started using it via my PC. My biggest frustration is the contacts. I've tried cleaning up my contacts several times deleting duplicates and old unused contacts. Yet only to find they show back up again on my devices iPhone and iPad.
well explained and helpful, Thank you for making such a great videos.
So if I delete it from my phone and it’s already saved in my iCloud it will still be on my iCloud?
you told me what icloud can do but not how to do it
@9:11 on my ipad it shows my backup is almost full. Where can I see this option on my ipad or laptop. I want to delete this manually. I have been deleting photo/ brushes pack. But it doesn't do anything to clear the backups. There is an ICould Backup on/off button. Do I need to turn it off? Any tip will help me.
