Question How many of you use iCloud?

I'm curious as to how many iPhone users use iCloud. Whether it be only for Find My iPhone or whatever else. I'm debating on whether or not I actually need it or not

The nice thing is, you can use as little or as much of iCloud as you want.

I use it quite a bit. I beam my I work docs, I use to keep my mail, contacts, & calendars in sync. I use it for backups. Some 3rd party apps I have will allow me to keep everything on multiple devices in sync.

iCloud was a huge factor for me in deciding whether to switch to iPhone.

With all the Apple products I have, it's a no brainer.

I use it in its entirety. Works very well for keeping things in sync across my iPad iPhone and mac

I use it mainly for backup. TBH, when it 'first came out', I went on the record of saying it was a waste of time. I am now eating my words and find it very useful!

I don't have icloud set to back up everytime i'm on wifi, locked, blah blah blah. the ONLY thing i have turned on for it is my contacts, calendar and photostream. And at some point i will be ditching photostream.

i don't rely on the icloud--i back up to iTunes every Sunday
