[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1951377, member: 110816"] iCloud is the cloud offering by Apple that can be used for a variety of services. For example, Notes, Pages, Photos, Calendar, etc. can use it to store things in the cloud and be accessible on other devices or on the web. Desktop and Documents are special folders that can be backed up in iCloud. I would, however, caution you against putting this in in iCloud unless you intend to share the files across multiple devices (not your use case) since turning this on and off might result in you losing all of your files. iCloud Drive (like Box, Dropbox, Google Drive) is a generic file storage mechanism that allows you to keep a copy of files in the cloud to be accessible everywhere. The way this works is that you keep a local copy of the file in the cloud. However, after some time, the local copy is removed to make space and can be downloaded again when you need it. [/QUOTE]
