In this day and age, data means everything. Whether you use electronic devices to store years of family photos or your life’s work, losing such information can be devastating. That’s why Experimac Middleton in Peabody, MA, is proud to help their clients configure iCloud^® storage on their Apple^® devices. If you’re unfamiliar with this revolutionary program, here are a few reasons to set it up.

3 Perks of Setting Up iCloud on Your Apple Device

1. Sharing Files & Photos

While primarily known as a storage system, iCloud is also an excellent way to share copies of essential documents, photos, and files with other users and devices. For example, you can draft a text document on a tablet and pull it up on a phone to show a colleague, or snap a photo and email it to a relative on an Apple laptop. Whatever apps or software programs you use, iCloud will save the files and make them accessible on a wide variety of devices. The ability to share data on the go is an irreplaceable convenience in both professional and social circles.

2. Backing Up Devices

If you’ve ever gotten a new phone without backing up your old one first, you know what a hassle it can be to re-download apps, log in to your accounts, and track down old contacts. Luckily, by backing up your information to iCloud, you will have a reliable archive of all personal information. While this is especially convenient if you’re upgrading to the latest iPhone or replacing a broken device, it’s also helpful if you accidentally delete an app or file and need to restore it. If the storage gets too full, simply upgrade the monthly iCloud plan or delete backups you no longer need.

3. Having a Family Plan

As a parent, iCloud is a powerful tool, whether you’re arranging holiday photo albums of your toddlers or printing an extra copy of your high schooler’s English paper. In addition to the storage and file-sharing capabilities of iCloud, the program also boasts a family sharing feature. You and up to five other members of your household can share content and purchased apps on this unique plan. Not only is this extremely cost-effective, but it also allows you to keep tabs on your children’s downloads and location details.
