Tired of mystery links exposing private docs? 😱
Fed up juggling endless permission panels?
In 2025, I ditched Google and moved everything to iCloud:
- ✅ True end-to-end encryption (even Apple can’t peek)
- 🔐 Hardware keys for recovery
- 🤝 Seamless handoff across Mac, iPhone, iPad, Watch
📸 Photos synced overnight — metadata intact
💥 But it’s not perfect:Pricier storage tiers 💸
Clunky collab with Windows folks
Less granular link permissions
Field-tested tips:
Purge duplicates before migrating (I saved 120 GB!)
Enable Advanced Data Protection on day one
Hybrid setups are fine — I still keep a thin public folder on Google
📚 Bottom line: iCloud feels like a serene library. Fewer nags, no "surprise guests," and control finally back in your hands.
