Cloud storage has seen tremendous buyer activity and is one of the promising tech trends right now. Apple, the company that revolutionized mobile technology, started investing in cloud back in 2011. Currently known as iCloud, Apple changed the way we store data, connect online and collaborate with others. iCloud not only stores the content securely but also keeps the apps up to date across all Apple devices. If you have access to iCloud, you have access to the data, including notes, files, photos, and much more, anywhere.
How to create an iCloud account?
The iCloud account is an essential part of any Apple device. Be it an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or MacBook, you can set your iCloud account anytime if you have not done it already. If your device is currently operating on iOS 11, you can go to the home screen and click on ‘settings’. Choose ‘Sign in to your iPhone’ on top of the menu, and select ‘Don’t have an Apple ID or forgot it. Now go on to choose ‘Create Apple ID’, and enter the credentials asked for. At the end of it all, your iCloud account should be ready for you. If you own a MacBook, choose the Apple menu and click on ‘system preferences’. You will have an option to create an Apple ID or sign in to your existing ID. Enter the credentials, and you are good to go. When new users sign up for iCloud, they get 5GB of free storage. For more storage space, you can upgrade to 50GB, 200GB, or 2TB plans. Users will be billed on a monthly basis. The pricing varies according to region. Accepted payment methods include all major credit and debit cards. Once you have a functional iCloud account, you might need support to expand the storage at times. There are more than one ways to seek support for iCloud if you are in India.
Seek support on the website
Apple has set up a dedicated iCloud Support page, that helps the users right from setting up the iCloud, to storage management. If you are new to iCloud, this is the ultimate destination to help you get started. The website also helps the users backup the data from their devices, or restore the data if they accidentally erase the phone or buy a new device. The iCloud support website gives detailed guidelines about the kind of files that you can store on the iCloud drive or the ways you can access these files. iCloud backs up deleted files for 30 days after you pressed ‘delete’. If you wish to get back the deleted files, you can get them back from here.
Download the Apple support app
You can download the app on any of your iPhones or iPad. The app gives personalized access to the solutions for all the Apple services and products. If you have any issues with your iCloud account, you can seek direct support on the app via chat. The app will help you troubleshoot any issues and will also provide you with step-by-step solutions to resolve the issue yourself. One of the best features is that the app helps users find nearby Apple Assistance stores, and you can book a slot as well. The app will automatically add the pass to your wallet, and you can go and check-in. It is that easy.
Dial the helpline number
If the issue is not resolved with the help of the above-mentioned methods, you still have access to the holy grail. Dial the helpline number and talk to the customer care executive for assistance. You need to explain the issue you are facing, and the team will help you reach the best possible solution. The helpline number for Apple India is 000800 040 1966.
