While things may have changed in the year since I left Apple the iCloud policy was thus:
Employees got a free upgrade to the higher tier of iCloud service (the 1TB of storage or whatever). There was also an iCloud@Work program rolled out a few years ago that was like a "behind the firewall" version of iCloud services. It was an approved means to share confidential company docs like shared Notes (in the Notes app) or iWork documents.
What was never clear was the level of integration of personal iCloud documents (photos, iWork, etc) and the @Work ones on the back end. No one gave you a straight answer if you asked if opting in for the @Work stuff allowed Apple to riffle through your photos or personal documents in iCloud.
I always assumed opting into the @Work stuff granted Apple back door access to everything in your iCloud account.
- User23 5y agoBackdoor access? Why would Apple conceivably need a backdoor for data you already willingly gave them? How could Apple not have frontdoor access to your iCloud?
- giantrobot 5y agoBackdoor as in Apple Security is free to riffle through your shit without notice and don't need to ask for any passwords or access (the front door).
