There’s a part of the Apple ecosystem that I’ve not touched on in all the years that I’ve been working on this channel, but I get asked about a lot in the comments, and that’s iCloud. It’s something that I reckon we all use every day as Apple users, yet a huge number of people find it really confusing. And to be fair, that’s because Apple make it way more confusing than it needs to be.

So in this video, I’m going to explain what iCloud is, and what it isn’t. I’ll debunk some myths, and try and answer some Frequently Asked Questions, so that hopefully by the end of this video, iCloud will be a tool you can use with confidence, to get the most out of it, rather than be confused by.

    I'm watching this video in complete awe of how good you are at explaining things. You have a combination of patience, intelligence, and clarity that's just out of this world.
  • @dismaldunc
    The way I explained it to my very old mum was " imagine you have a statue in the front garden, you can see it from the living room, dining room or bedroom. the view is of the same thing , just from different places. If I go in the garden and break its arm off, you will see its arm is missing whichever window you look out of.

    I have been an android user for several years and just in the last month have bought into the Apple eco system. I watch your videos daily and would really be struggling without them. This video on iCloud was amazing and you answered so many questions, THANK YOU!
  • @djross95
    I'm pretty good with tech, but I have always found iCloud far more confusing that (say) Google Drive or OneDrive. This was a really excellent, informative video that cleared up a lot of my questions. Well done, sir!
  • @christianc6016
    Your videos are so clear, concise, and crisp. And they replicate the ease and intuitiveness of the Apple experience. The graphics/visuals are professional and clean. Really enjoy your channel.

    I'm a long time Apple user who randomly stumbled on this video and I can't believe how useful it has been! I didn't know about the "Remove download" feature. Could have saved me a lot of headache all these years. Many thanks mate!
  • @hettytravels
    Very good! Years ago, as a new Apple user, I learned the hard way that deleting photos on one device deletes them everywhere. Never again!
  • @marcdupuis4679
    Thanks for this great video on this particular subject. Don’t know how you do it every time but it is so well explained, so clear and concise. Keep up the good work. You’re TOP in my book 🏆
  • @Orwic1
    Excellent video - really useful and well explained. I am generally familiar with I cloud, but this filled in some gaps in my knowledge. Thanks for explaining it so well.
  • so, I have only began watching your videos a few days ago (two days ago I think) I wanted to say a BIG thank you for your very clear voice, the non over- usage of theatrics to make your videos stand out. Too often the other guys feel the need to use loud music, and so many transitions I have to stop watching theirs because they give me a headache. I will be 6o tomorrow and I don't tolerate a lot of junk in videos when I want to learn something. This is not to say your videos are any less entertaining because they are. You have a good way of pulling your audience in without over stimulation. I hope you stick around for a very long time. I think Apple themselves should see your videos because I am pretty sure they themselves would approve! - Thank you many times over!
  • Tip: you can have more than one Photo Library. One shared on the iCloud and one just local. To do this: open photo app while holding the Option Key. To go to a different library: close photo app and open it again with the option key

    I watched the whole video from beginning to end (a miracle by itself), and consider it far more useful and informative than anything else I've watched on the subject. Up till now Apple iCloud was a mystery to me, and not a good one as I don't want to pay £10 each month for the privilege. I can now, with your help, start working on what I dó want. So, thanks a lot from a new subscriber!
  • Your explanation of the shared album changed the game for me. I have over 10,000 videos and pictures from my travels and I've never been able to organize them the way I want. I am very thankful. For this video because the information you gave me is going to simplify everything.
  • @SoNowWhat
    Thanks for this. A point of clarification - Shared Albums do not count against your iCloud storage limits. Also, as someone else commented here, media is compressed to lower resolutions in a shared album.
  • @KGM962
    This is the best video ever!! It single-handedly answered my years long questions in the first few minutes !!!
  • @georgee3401
    Excellent tutorial. Well presented and very useful information. Many thanks!
  • @GT-ho6co
    Well described and helpful. Now please explain iTunes music syncing for those that don’t subscribe to Apple Music 🤔🤷🏻🤷🏻‍♂️
  • @rudybriskar5267
    Still clear as mud but very informative. I'm new to Apple and the ecosystem. Thank you for your content.
  • @robinriesner
    great topic that i need fully explained..thank you..i really enjoy your channel :)
  • It's a shame that Apple doesn't allow you to delete photos from the phone and keep the uploaded photos in the cloud just like how iCloud drive does with the pdf files etc.
