You'll be able to access your files from anywhere with OneDrive, whether you're using your personal device or a friend's computer. All you need to do is sign in to your account to view your files, move them to another device, or add new ones.

Apple is notoriously known for keeping most of its products exclusive only to its users. This allows them to give optimum service and assure that their devices deliver unparalleled. That being said, keeping most of its products 'Apple exclusive' becomes a double-edged sword, especially for those who use their devices along with gadgets from their competitors. Luckily, the tech company is starting to expand its services to more people. This includes its cloud storage solution service, iCloud.

Best cloud storage solution for Apple devices but not for Windows

If you're accustomed to the slick interface iCloud has for Mac and iOS, you might need to adjust a little on its Windows client

It wasn't a long time ago when Microsoft announced that the iCloud will have a Windows-friendly version available on the Microsoft Store. Apple phone and tablet users who are on laptop and PC can now sync their files across all their devices using the built-in application from Apple. While this should generally be considered as good news, but don't celebrate just yet until you try it for yourself.

A collaboration with Windows

This time around, Apple decided to work with Microsoft to streamline iCloud's performance for Windows. The program is available only to Windows 10 version so you have to make sure that your operating system is up to date before you can use the application on your PC.

Using the same technology as that of OneDrive, iCloud Windows users can be more productive even if they aren't connected to the internet. Free up some space on your computer and access your iCloud Drive files right from File Explorer. Select which file or folder you want to keep on your computer and which ones you want to be stored in the cloud.

You may also store your photos, documents, videos, etc. on the drive and access them on your iOS or Mac by syncing them together. Need to access your files on someone else's laptop? Log in to your iCloud account via the web app and easily download that report you worked hard on last night. You can easily share any file straight from File Explorer and collaborate with others.

If you're accustomed to the slick interface iCloud has for Mac and iOS, you might need to adjust a little on its Windows client. While the former already has sections for applications like iCalendar you won't find it on the later version. The platform also can't identify other file types including Microsoft Office documents. Sadly, both leading tech companies are yet to come up with a mechanism to convert these files into an editable format. Needless to say, you can't just drag and drop files just as easily as you can on the Mac and iOS clients.

If all these weren't disappointing enough, you can't just activate iCloud on your PC if you haven't registered and used it on your iOS or macOS device. Yes, even if you're willing to pay for the service. The same goes for the web because it will ask you to input your AppleID instead of an iCloudID. That being said, if you are really looking for a cloud storage service app that allows you to not only keep your files across devices sync and collaborate with other people, you need to consider other options.

Where can you run this program?

Like all Apple programs, iCloud is integrated on all Apple devices. This means that there is no need for you to download the application on your iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Mac or Apple TV. Cyberlink powerdirector 17 and photodirector 10 ultra. However, Windows users who own mobile Apple devices need to download their Windows-friendly version. It works in the background just as it does on other devices. If you don't want to set up the desktop client, you may also access your files by logging in through the web app.

Is there a better alternative?

If you think iCloud isn't for you, there are a lot of cloud-storage service providers to choose from.

Google Drive is one of the easiest and most reliable storage solutions. Unlike that of Apple's Google offers their services to users of all devices. It's perfect for cloud collaboration and file sharing. You may use it in conjunction with other products from the tech giant like Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides. View photos and play videos easily or connect it with Pixlr Editor to quickly retouch a few images. Get up to 15GB worth of storage for no cost while their paid plans provide you top-notch service for a low price.

OneDrive is Microsoft's answer to your storage needs. It's integrated into Windows 10 so you no longer need to download any application. Sync photos across all devices using the Microsoft Photos App. You may also use OneDrive on Autodesk AutoCAD and rest assured your work is properly backed up. Get 5GB worth of storage for free or sign up for their paid plans to get bigger storage space.

Our take

Windows Cloud Software

Apple's iCloud works perfectly on all of its devices. You don't have to worry about losing your files because it does all the dirty work in the background. The slick design on Mac, iPhone, and iPad give you an easier and a more attractive way to back up your photos and documents. Sadly, however, this does not translate well on Windows.

Should you download it?

No. Even if you're using a handheld Apple device and don't have a Mac or MacBook it still isn't a great way to access the files you have on your phone or tablet. All the more if you don't own such devices. It would be best to opt for a different cloud storage service providers that have a better interface on the Windows operating system

4.0.3.56

Windows file transfer. Microsoft releases Windows 10 Build 18970 to Insiders in the Fast Ring. This new build from the 20H1 development branch introduces a new Tablet experience for 2-in-1 devices, the working Cloud Download feature, and plenty of fixes.

Introducing a new tablet experience for 2-in-1 convertible PCs!

We are beginning to roll out a new tablet experience for 2-in-1 convertible PCs as a Beta to Windows Insiders. This new experience allows users entering tablet posture to stay in the familiar desktop experience without interruption, plus a few key touch improvements:

  • Increased spacing between Taskbar icons.
  • Search box on taskbar collapsed into an icon.
  • File Explorer switches to touch optimized layout.
  • Touch keyboard auto invokes when you tap text fields.

As part of this, we've also made a few small changes to the tablet section in Settings.

This experience is currently available for a portion of Insiders as we evaluate the quality. Here are the steps once it becomes available on your PC:

  1. Use your convertible PC as a laptop as you normally would–opening apps and interacting with them.
  2. When you're ready to pick it up and go or simply lean back on the couch, you can fold back the keyboard or remove it altogether, and it should switch to this new mode shown above.
  3. Now use your device as a tablet with touch.

We'd love to hear your feedback about the new experience–share your thoughts here.

Recovery Improvements

Introducing a new Reset this PC option–Cloud Download

Reset this PC now provides users a new choice to download Windows or use local reinstall. Previously, Reset this PC was only able to do a local reinstall and would build a new Windows installation from existing Windows files. When this feature was introduced in Windows 10 version 1507, it provided the advantage of enabling Windows to be recoverable without requiring extra disk space to store a compressed, backup copy of Windows in a hidden partition. We've heard feedback that some of you would prefer to use your high-speed internet connection to speed up this process by just downloading Windows.

Important note: This is a recovery operation and will remove apps you have installed. Additionally, if the 'Remove everything' option is selected, user data will also be deleted. For more information on Reset this PC and other recovery options visit aka.ms/win10recoveryoptions.

Windows Cloud Picture

The cloud download option will reinstall the same build, version, and edition, that is currently installed on your device. This new cloud download option is available to all Windows 10 devices and is different from the 'Recover from the cloud' feature available on some earlier Windows 10 devices.

Known issues

  • The cloud download option is not currently working when specific optional features are installed. The process will begin, but an error will occur and roll back the changes. To work around this issue, remove the optional features before trying the cloud download option. We'll let you know once this issue has been resolved. The optional features are: EMS and SAC Toolset for Windows 10, IrDA infrared, Print Management Console, RAS Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK), RIP Listener, all RSAT tools, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Windows Fax and Scan, Windows Storage Management, Wireless Display, WMI SNMP Provider.

Continuing the Cortana rollout

Windows Os Tablets

The new Cortana experience is now available to all Insiders in the Fast ring in the United States. If it's available on your device and you haven't tried it out already, we'd love to hear your feedback! We've posted a Quest in the Feedback Hub to help you get started.

  • We fixed a DWM memory leak that was impacting the previous two flights.
  • We fixed an issue resulting in some WSL distros not loading (Issue #4371).

  • We have made improvements in Magnifier reliability.
  • We fixed an issue where the File Explorer search suggestions weren't being read out by Narrator.
  • We fixed an issue in Narrator where it would speak 'unknown' if you had the 'Header Status' column enabled within Outlook as you arrowed between different email messages.
  • We fixed a couple Narrator dialog reading issues. Narrator would sometimes speak 'empty document' or stop the dialog reading too early.
  • We fixed an issue where Narrator would not always speak the group name of a radio button on web pages.
  • We fixed an issue with Narrator and Excel not speaking the column header when arrowing between cells in a table.

  • We fixed an issue when a user was replying to an email in Outlook, Narrator was automatically reading the message while the user was trying to type.
  • There has been an issue with older versions of anti-cheat software used with games where after updating to the latest 19H1 Insider Preview builds may cause PCs to experience crashes. We are working with partners on getting their software updated with a fix, and most games have released patches to prevent PCs from experiencing this issue. To minimize the chance of running into this issue, please make sure you are running the latest version of your games before attempting to update the operating system. We are also working with anti-cheat and game developers to resolve similar issues that may arise with the 20H1 Insider Preview builds and will work to minimize the likelihood of these issues in the future.
  • Some Realtek SD card readers are not functioning properly. We are investigating the issue.
  • We're working on a fix for an issue resulting in the minimize, maximize, and close title bar buttons not working for certain apps. If you're using an impacted app, Alt+F4 should work as expected to close the app if needed.
  • Text on Devices pages in Settings for 'Bluetooth and Other Devices' and 'Printers and Scanners' isn't rendering correctly.
  • Search isn't working for Insiders using certain display languages, including Polish. If you are impacted by this, switching your display language to English then back to your preferred display language should resolve it.

If you have configured your device to receive updates from the Fast Ring ring, open Settings - > Update &recovery and click on the Check for Updates button on the right. This will install the latest available Insider Preview of Windows 10.
