In the last major update, Apple also introduced tighter integration between Windows 10 and iCloud Drive, to the point where it’s now a direct alternative to Microsoft’s own OneDrive cloud storage service. While there are at least a dozen apps that will enhance the Android experience on Windows, none of these are developed by Google, which prefers its users to work in the browser as much as possible.Īpple, on the other hand, provides synchronization that’s as seamless as possible to popular Windows apps like Outlook, keeps a copy of your iCloud Photos on your hard drive, and even syncs bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, Chrome, Edge, or Opera. In fact, it’s a better experience than most Android users enjoy on Windows 10, at least in terms of first-party support.
While the development of iCloud for Windows moves at a relative snail’s pace compared to Apple’s own macOS iCloud features, the company does try to do its best to make sure that all the important boxes are checked when it comes to providing a unified experience for iPhone users who otherwise prefer to live in the Windows world.
