Recently, it has only been heard about “cloud” technologies. More and more users are abandoning the local storage of large amounts of data, transferring them to the "cloud" storage, which turned out to be extremely convenient when used at home.
Of course, Apple couldn’t stay away from this “celebration of life”. Moreover, due to its own "clouds" the operation of many devices from this manufacturer is provided. Of course, we are talking about iCloud. What it is? This article will be discussed in our article.Basic concepts

- even the iOS desktop (more precisely, its settings) is stored in the "cloud";
- Messages from all your devices
- ringtones.
It was not by chance that we mentioned saves for games, since the possibility of synchronizing them became a huge joy for mobile game lovers. They can easily start playing some Minecraft on the iPhone in the subway, pause the application, and then continue crafting, sitting at home with the iPad.

In the main dialog box that opens after this, you can see a list of those applications that are allowed to save all their files and settings in the “cloud”. By the way, if someone is interested in mail on the @ me.com domain, then the corresponding mailbox is easily created in the same window: just enter a free nickname. You do not need to invent a password. The fact is that as such will be used identification data from Apple ID.In general, this ID is your virtual “keychain”. iCloud (what we already know) is no exception to this.
Among other things, in the same window you can see statistics on the distribution of 5 GB of free disk space allocated to you. Here, additional space is also acquired if all the previously allocated space has already been occupied.

If anyone does not know, then it is designed to automatically synchronize all photos and screenshots taken using your iPhone or iPad. To activate this option, go to the "Settings / Photos" path.Important! If you decide to disable “Photo Stream” after the files have been downloaded to the device, all of them will be deleted. True, and copies remain in iCloud.

It often happens that web-based versions of computer applications have significantly less functionality when compared to “large” releases. I am glad that in this case this is not at all the case. On the contrary, all programs are almost identical to those used in the iPad and iPhone. And this concerns not only their appearance, but also functionality. By the way, there is one function that should be discussed in more detail. It's about the Find My iPhone option, thanks to which attackers have recently blocked thousands of Apple devices around the world.Find My iPhone Service Description
