RE: [apple-iphone] iCloud 50gb storage for .99 cents a month.

 

Thanks, I know what you mean. :>  I have 4 different clouds too, I was just trying to

simplify offloading pictures and videos as I bought the smaller 64gb iPhone X and

some websites suggested to do that.

 

I think the iCloud app also saves them to my computer, I installed that on my PC so get

copies too.  Still new to coming back to Apple stuff so not 100% sure, but think it does.

 

I am not even sure I will need the extra space, but figured for less than a dollar a month,

seemed the easiest solution.

(.99 cents? Wouldn't that be 1 cent? Or do you mean 99 cents, $0.99?)

Storage SPACE is one factor affecting the price. How large is the space on a server?
Storage SPEED is another. Both the speed of the server and of the connection. That includes the difference between hot storage (readily accessible) and cold storage (where retrieving at all may take some hours).
Storage RELIABILITY is another. Do they back up? Could they go bankrupt overnight, having your data destroyed? (A website that I contributed to disappeared overnight, apparently as its webhost had been cut off for not paying his electricity bill.)
Storage SECURITY is another. This is where national interests may come into play. One may trust certain governments more than others, another may disagree, and in time positions may change.
Storage COMPATIBILITY is another. Think of different protocols, proprietary or open. FTP, WebDAV, Dropbox. One of the clouds I use charges extra for a wider range of protocols.

The best suggestion may be an old one: don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Me, I have several clouds, paid and free, but I tend to use some more than others.

Have you tried the highest rated email app?

With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market. What are you waiting for? Now you can access all your inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, AOL and more) in one place. Never delete an email again with 1000GB of free cloud storage.
