Automatically keep your files up to date on your iPad and computer with iCloud

With iCloud, you can store your files, photos, videos, and more in the cloud so you can access them on all your devices. You see the same information on your iPad and Mac (OS X 10.10 or later) or Windows PC (Windows 7 or later). You must be signed in with your Apple ID on both your iPad and your computer.

Note: iCloud provides you with an email account and 5 GB of free storage for your data. For more storage and additional features, you can subscribe to iCloud+.
