[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1842689, member: 396914"] The pictures should eventually all be in sync, if in Settings, Photos you have iCloud Photos turned on on all of them. It takes time, as Photos works with very low priority in the background to download the pictures. Also, if you want the full images on each device, not just thumbnails, select "Download and keep originals" in the same place. If you are willing to use cellular to download and sync, make sure that is turned on as well. But you might want to be careful if you have data limits. As for applications, they do not sync. You would have to install them on each device on which you want them. If you want all apps on all devices, I think that can be accomplished through Settings/App Store and turn ON App Updates on all devices. Now when there is an update to an app, it should download to all devices. Again, be careful about cellular data settings on that, as some apps are pretty large. I'm not certain that already existing apps will automatically install with that setting, so you may have to install each one separately on each device. Can't help with chats or the like. Sorry. I don't trust Google with anything, so I cannot comment on Google. Dropbox might work, but I find iCloud much easier once it is set up properly. [/QUOTE]
