In the past few years, there was a saying circulating in the mobile phone market, that is, I would rather buy an iPhone 512G than open iCloud 2T cloud storage, which seemed to be true at the time, it was better to upload files to the cloud, convenient to operate and easy to use.
And in recent years, the market has become popular cloud services, directly allowing many users who choose small memory to have more use of the operation, while the file synchronization to iCloud cloud storage, then only need to change the device login account can also be retrieved.
However, I thought that the cloud service of Apple's mobile phone would be very reliable, but there was a situation that the more optimized it was, the more mediocre it was, and even many netizens said that it gradually became unreliable.
Cloud service issues keep going
Speaking of Apple's iCloud cloud service for apple phones, there are indeed many problems from last year to the present, and at the beginning of this year, Apple's cloud service iCloud suffered a wide range of downtime.
At that time, Apple's system status page showed that iCloud Backup, iCloud mail, photos and game centers were all malfunctioning, which made many users who stored files in the cloud very worried, and once their synchronized data disappeared, they would really lose a lot.
The point is that at that time, Apple users in many countries and regions reflected that iCloud overturned, so the scope of services affected was very large, but fortunately it was later solved, otherwise there would really be an uncontrollable situation.
Also, in the recent period of cloud services is also the news of overturning, many Mac users feedback iCloud has a new problem, and will cause iCloud to repeatedly pop up the terms of service, so that users have to click again and again to confirm the acceptance of the terms, and has not found the cause and solution of the bug.
The point is that the coverage of this issue is very extensive, whether it is using M1 or Intel chips, whether running a stable version or a beta system, you will encounter this problem.
And Apple, which has always been based on speed, has not yet made any response to the problem, nor has it pushed any patches to fix it, and it seems that the reputation of cloud services is really going to decline again.
The pros and cons of cloud services are obvious
In fact, many people's first impression of iCloud is "insufficient iCloud storage space", and then ignore this message, but after a detailed understanding, you can still find the reason for this problem.
Because when everyone opens the "iCloud Photo Library", all the photos on the phone are automatically uploaded to iCloud under the WI-FI network, and will occupy the storage space of iCloud, and naturally the message will be full of space.
If you need to save phone storage space by compressing photos, photo syncing, chat history syncing, etc., then iCloud is worth it, if you just use other features, then the free 5G space is actually enough to use.
In addition, iCloud Storage has two drawbacks that cannot be ignored, one of which is that when local photos are deleted on cloud storage, not only are local files deleted, but also deleted synchronously on other devices.
And uploading is very easy, but downloading files is very slow, especially in the case of urgent need for large files to download and there is no WIFI, it will really test the patience of users.
And the storage files in the mobile phone are generally photos, videos, documents, chat history, etc. can be synchronized to the cloud service, but many local chat records can not.
It can be seen that the flaws of iCloud cloud storage are still very many, although it was later upgraded to iCloud+, it is still difficult to change the occurrence of these problems, which is also one of the reasons why it is now being complained about.
Distrust of cloud services
In fact, there are still many users who use iCloud cloud storage, but there are also many users who do not trust cloud services, because for most users, they still feel that it is safest to put it locally.
Although many cloud services now strengthen user privacy protection, it becomes cumbersome when users want to download their own things, and when there is a problem with the server, they have no way to stop it.
In addition, there are some resources that are safe, but they are judged to be viruses, and then they are forcibly deleted, which are very hesitant places for users.
iCloud settings
But then again, for users who often use iCloud cloud services, there are still a few issues that need to be paid attention to, because this can save space in the product.
For example, when the phone storage space is low, check "Optimize Photos", you may sync the photos in your phone to iCloud, save only the photos of the smaller size locally, and download them from iCloud when you need to use them.
There is also the sharing function, after opening iCloud, the software in each device, such as albums, browser history, notes, reminders, calendars, etc. can be seen on other devices.
Write at the end
For iCloud, it is indeed convenient for many users to use, but the unstable factors are really too many, if not optimized well, then the future development will definitely become worse and worse. What do you think of this, welcome to leave a message, like, share.
