As good as iCloud is on its own, it’s even more valuable if you have multiple Apple devices. An Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad, for example, can all share one iCloud account, making it simple to share things between devices and recover them anywhere, even when on the go.  In addition to saving files, you can also use iCloud to save app data to free up even more disk space. iCloud works well with most first-party Apple applications: Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Keychain, Safari (bookmarks, browsing history etc.), Photos and so on.
