iCloud & Cloud Syncing

The word cloud is pervasive...and confusing. We use it in conversation daily. But, what is a cloud? What does it do? Is "the cloud" the same as iCloud? Where does my data actually live? Mac Doctor is ready with answers.

We will explain what iCloud actually does, how it syncs your data, what it backs up, and how it ties into your Apple life. iCloud is a wonderful and powerful syncing tool that Apple has built into all of their devices. When it is set up and used properly it can streamline, synchronize, and securely store tons of data from your Apple devices. However - if not fully understood it can be the cause of great frustration. So let us help! Get in touch today and we will make sure you’re comfortable, and confident when using iCloud.

But there are more clouds than iCloud. We'll explain the other various clouds that you are also using, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, Microsoft One Drive, and show you how to check they are syncing properly and backing up.

It's okay, we get it. The term cloud is used so universally that it's difficult to define or understand. No worries, we'll sort it out for you.
