Launched in 2014, iCloud Documents and Data was a system that automatically synchronizes data from a variety of applications and makes it available on a wide range of devices. Apple has now announced that this service has been discontinued and is now part of iCloud Drive.
On a support page (via MacRumors), the company explains that iCloud Documents and Data no longer exists:
iCloud Documents and Data, our legacy document synchronization service, has been discontinued and replaced by iCloud Drive. If you used iCloud Documents and Data, your account has been migrated to iCloud Drive.
Apple previously announced that it would suspend the service and now iCloud Drive is the best place for all your documents and data.
As the company explains, iCloud Drive allows you to easily store, access and share files with friends and family. Documents you store on iCloud Drive stay up-to-date on all your devices and can be accessed from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC.
This change comes just a month before Apple launches WWDC 2022. As the company announces several new features during the iOS 15 cycle, Apple may be preparing even more news for iCloud.
One thing consumers wouldn’t mind if Apple announced a slightly better free plan, as the company only offers 5GB of cloud storage at no cost. In addition, there is a huge difference between the plans for 50GB, 200GB and 1TB. Whether Apple can make it cheaper or offer more options in between.
