[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"At this week's Worldwide Developers
Conference in San Francisco, Apple announced a restructuring of its
iCloud storage and computing services as part of an apparent bid to stem
the tide of user data flowing from iOS and OS X to competitors like
Dropbox and Facebook," Sam Oliver reports for AppleInsider.
"iCloud's storage limits were marginally defensible when the service was
limited to synchronizing data from iOS and Mac apps. With iCloud Drive,
however, Apple is pitting iCloud against a horde of firmly-entrenched
competitors and has rethought its pricing strategy," Oliver reports.
"With the launch of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, the base storage allocation
will remain at 5 gigabytes. Upgrading to 20 gigabytes will cost just
$0.99 per month, though, with 200 gigabytes coming in at only $3.99 per
month. Additional tiers of up to 1 terabyte will be available, but their
pricing hasn't been announced."
"Those costs put iCloud Drive in an excellent position on storage space
alone, but it shines yet brighter over its competition when considering
iCloud's seamless integration with Apple's devices," Oliver reports.
"The budding iCloud.com suite — which includes web-based versions of
Numbers, Pages, and Keynote — adds even more value."
"Developers can also take advantage of iCloud Drive to store and
synchronize documents and data for their apps, but they have a new
service all their own: CloudKit," Oliver reports. "CloudKit is a new,
'effectively free' service that lets developers store users' data in the
cloud with asset storage (for things like photos) as well as database
space."
