<strong>What you can do with <!---->iCloud<!----> for Windows</strong>





- Safely store your photos and videos in <!---->iCloud<!---->. With <!---->iCloud Photos<!---->, any new photos and videos that you take on your iPhone, iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/), or iPod touch (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipod-touch/) automatically download to your PC. And you can upload new photos and videos from your PC so that you can access them from your other devices too.


- Use Shared Albums to share photos and videos with just the people you choose. Then invite friends to add their own photos, videos, and comments.


- Get your documents on every device you use with <!---->iCloud Drive<!---->. Simply drag your documents into the <!---->iCloud Drive<!----> folder on your PC and access them at any time, on any device.


- Keep your <!---->iCloud<!----> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders up to date automatically between your iPhone, <!---->iPad<!---->, <!---->iPod touch<!---->, Mac, and PC.


- Keep your Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Google Chrome bookmarks on Windows the same as your Safari bookmarks.


- Update your <!---->iCloud<!----> preferences, see how much <!---->iCloud<!----> storage you're using, delete items to free up storage, and update your storage plan whenever you want.

According to Microsoft, the <!---->iCloud Drive<!----> feature on Windows is powered by the same Windows technology behind the OneDrive Files On-Demand Feature, which lets users be more productive offline on mobile devices and quickly share files on iOS.
