Snippet from Wikipedia: ICloud

iCloud is a cloud service developed by Apple Inc. Launched on October 12, 2011, iCloud enables users to store and sync data across devices, including Apple Mail, Apple Calendar, Apple Photos, Apple Notes, contacts, settings, backups, and files, to collaborate with other users, and track assets through Find My. It is built into iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, macOS, and visionOS. iCloud may additionally be accessed through a limited web interface and Windows application.

iCloud offers users 5 GB of free storage which may be upgraded to 50 GB, 200 GB, or 2 TB through optional paid plans. Starting in September 2023, storage options for 6 TB and 12 TB have been added. All paid plans include iCloud+ which additionally provides Private Relay, Hide My Email and Custom Email Domain.

As of 2018, the service had an estimated 850 million users, up from 782 million users in 2016.

In December 2022, Apple rolled out optional end-to-end encryption for all iCloud data (including iCloud Photos, iCloud Drive, and more), with the exception of Calendar, Contacts, and Mail, which rely on legacy sync technologies for compatibility with third-party apps (CalDav, CardDav, IMAP). The feature was released to U.S. customers on December 13, 2022, and rolled out worldwide on January 23, 2023.
