After installing OS X Yosemite (which, by the way, I had a problem with) and iOS 8 GM, I decided to connect iCloud Drive. Let me remind you that it can be controlled only with the help of these systems. I have been thinking for a long time whether it is worth buying additional space in the Apple cloud, because the new prices allow you not to even think about this issue. However, does iCloud Drive even make sense and will we use it? Let's think about it.
As before, 5 gigabytes are available for free, which can be expanded to 20 GB for $ 0.99 per month. The amount is ridiculous, but is it worth it?
Let me remind you that iCloud Drive is a competitor to Dropbox, Google Drive and other cloud storages. That is, new features have been added to the old iCloud functions, which will allow you to use it as a cloud for your files. There are already a lot of questions about the service.
Firstly, it simply does not work well. Of course, this can be attributed to beta, but the inability to upload a file to the cloud storage, seriously? This could be fixed. When you upload a file to iCloud Drive, endless sync starts.
Second, why didn't Apple consider creating a separate iOS app for iCloud Drive? It would be much more convenient than working with each separate file in different applications.
And now the main question: which tariff to choose? If you intend to migrate to iCloud Drive from another cloud, I would recommend the 20GB minimum plan for $ 0.99 per month. I don't know what to store in Apple's cloud, except for documents and photos.
Of course, if you have a lot of devices, backups and photos, then you will need a lot more space. However, in this case, you have already acquired it.
Do you see the need to buy space in iCloud Drive?
