Access your iCloud content on your Mac

iCloud is the easiest way to make sure all your important content is everywhere you are.

iCloud stores your documents, photos, music, apps, contacts, and calendars, so you can

access them anytime youʼre connected to the web.

You can use your Apple ID to set up a free iCloud account, which comes with 5 GB of free

storage space. Purchases you make from the iTunes Store, App Store, Apple TV app, or

Book Store donʼt count toward your available space.

iCloud keeps everything up to date on your devices. So if you have an iPhone, iPad, or

iPod touch, just sign in to each device using the same Apple ID, turn on iCloud, and youʼll

have everything you need.

For system requirements about devices that support iCloud, see the Apple Support

article .

Here are some of the things you can do with iCloud.

Automatically store your desktop and Documents folder in iCloud Drive. You can

save files in your Documents folder or on your desktop, and theyʼre automatically

available on iCloud Drive and accessible wherever you are. When working with

iCloud Drive, you have access to files on your Mac Pro, on your iPhone or iPad in the Files
