And, as you know, the more copies that exist of something (and in the more locations), the better your backup. Anything you drag into this “folder” is instantly copied to all your devices and computers. ICloud Drive also makes a gloriously simple, effective backup disk. After working on some document at the office, you can go home and resume from right where you stopped the same file is waiting for you, exactly as you left it. No more carrying things around on a flash drive. (Assuming they’re running iOS 8 or later, and are signed into the same iCloud account.)

It’s a no-brainer, and could add a little more profit to their ever-growing list of Apple Services.Ĭurrently, my (and probably your) Mac back-up strategy is using Time Machine for local files and iCloud for offsite back-ups of Documents, Desktop, and Photos. Now it’s time for iCloud back-up for the Mac. Among other advantages: this makes moving your data to a new smartphone or tablet very easy.
