I agree iCloud let's you share things in the cloud between multiple devices, but it isn't necessary for some of the things you've mentioned. For example, contacts and calendar events can just be synced using Exchange or other protocols. You don't need iCloud to sync these items across multiple devices.

Paul,

The primary purpose of the iCloud Control Panel is to allow Windows users to 
access iCloud features, primarily in Microsoft Outlook but now it also includes 
iCloud drive.

As an example, when I schedule a new calendar appointment on my iPhone, not 
only does that event appear in the Calendar application on my Mac but that same 
appointment also shows up in the Calendar in Microsoft Outlook on my Windows 
PC.   The same is true for Reminders, Contacts, and so on.

The reverse is also true.  This is to say, when working in Outlook, on my 
Windows PC, thanks to the iCloud Control Panel, any appointments, reminders, 
Contacts, etc I add, directly into Outlook, will automatically be synchronized 
to all of my iCloud enabled devices such as my iPhone and Mac.

What does this program do; I am guessing it somehow lets you access what is in 
the cloud on one or more Apple devices but would like someone’s opinion who has 
tried it.

Thank you.
