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 they’re automatically
available on iCloud Drive and accessible wherever you are. When working with
iCloud Drive, you have access to files on your MacBook Air, on your iPhone or iPad in the
Files app, on the web at , or on a Windows PC in the iCloud app. When you
make changes to a file on a device or on iCloud Drive, you’ll see your edits wherever you
view the file.
To get started, open System Preferences, click Apple ID, then click iCloud. Select
iCloud Drive, then click Options and select “Desktop & Documents Folders.” To learn
more, see the Apple Support article
.
Share purchases and storage with Family Sharing. Up to six members of your family
can share their purchases from the App Store, Apple TV app, Book Store, and
iTunes Store and share the same storage plan—even if they each use their own iCloud
account. Pay for family purchases with one credit card, and approve your kids’ spending
right from your MacBook Air, iOS device, or iPadOS device. Also share photos, a family
calendar, reminders, and locations. If you didn’t set up Family Sharing when you set up
your Mac, open System Preferences, click Family Sharing, then click Next. To learn more,
see the Apple Support article .
