For example, if you add a contact to the Contacts app on your iPhone, it should automatically appear in the Contacts app on your Mac. If apps like contacts, calendars, and reminders are listed and enabled, those apps are using iCloud to store and sync data across devices. For more information about using custom domains with iCloud Mail, check out the Apple Support article “Use Custom Email Domain with iCloud Mail.” In addition, with iCloud+, if you have control of another domain, you can associate it with your iCloud account to use custom email addresses in addition to, or in place of, your one. Mail allows you to create a free email address that you can use with the Mail app on macOS, iOS, iPadOS, other email clients, and on the web. In this section, I will give an overview of several of these features. Once you've signed in with your Apple ID, specific iCloud features can be configured in Settings (System Settings on macOS) > iCloud. If you didn't, you'll be presented with an option in Settings on iOS and iPadOS and System Settings on macOS to do so.
If you entered this information during setup, iCloud is probably set up already. When you first set up your Mac or iOS device, you were probably asked to sign in with an Apple ID and password. If you haven’t, you can create one for free. If you’ve used other Apple services such as the iTunes Store or AppStore, you already have an Apple ID. Like other Apple services, iCloud requires an Apple ID. The use of these and similar services is referred to as “Cloud computing.” Setup Popular cloud services from other companies include DropBox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and others. “The cloud” refers to the nebulous network or “cloud” of servers that provides the backend infrastructure for syncing and storing data on the Internet, and is not an Apple specific term. With any paid storage plan, you get several additional features marketed collectively as iCloud+. By default, you get 5GB of free storage space, upgradable up to 2TB, to store data such as documents, photos, emails, contacts, calendars, and more.
ICloud is the Apple service that allows Macs and iOS devices to keep content in sync between them. The good thing about it is once you have a few things set up, features largely work automatically with very little additional interaction required from you, the user.
In this guide, I will give an overview of how iCloud, the service that facilitates this interconnection, can help you manage and sync your content, as well as how it can help protect your privacy and security. If you have multiple Apple devices, you may know that there are many features that allow them to integrate with each other to keep content up-to-date across all of them.
