iCloud securely stores your photos, videos, documents, music, apps, and more — and keeps them updated across all your devices. So you always have access to what you want, wherever you want it.
iCloud Photo Library automatically uploads every photo and video you take, making them accessible from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, Mac, or PC and on iCloud.com. By storing your entire library safely in iCloud, you’ll have more space on your iPhone to take more great shots. iCloud Photo Sharing makes it easy to show off just the photos and videos you want to just the people you want to see them.

They’ll appear in the built-in iCloud Drive app on your iOS devices, and vice versa. No more wondering where your files are saved — the answer is on all your devices, even an iPhone or another Mac.

Apple takes data security and the privacy of your personal information very seriously, and iCloud features are designed with your privacy in mind. All your iCloud content — like photos, documents, and contacts — is encrypted when sent over the Internet and, in most cases, when stored on our servers. If we use third-party vendors to store your information, we encrypt it and never give them the keys. And security enhancements like two-factor authentication help to ensure that the important information in your account can only be accessed by you, and only with your devices.4
Access your information when you’re away from your iOS devices by signing in to iCloud.com.

You can also access features like Find My iPhone, Notes, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, iWork for iCloud, and more.
