The iCloud Drive integration on the Mac is pretty good. It's as good as Dropbox. The iOS integration is good too but hampered by the limited concept of files on iOS. Maybe with the Files app on iOS 11 this will change (although that app supports third party cloud drive services).
- izacus 9y agoHaving worked on an iCloud using iOS app... it's hugely buggy. I've yet to see as problematic API as iCloud is on iOS 10. Files failing to sync, a lot of users don't even get the app folder, randomly files won't sync (forever) and more. All of that is wrapped into opaque service, which doesn't really tell you what it's doing and what went wrong. Might be they're all messy like that... but iCloud didn't really seem like a reliable service and it wasn't close to reliability of Dropbox :/
