Renaming Image Files on iCloud

The iCloud, owned by Apple, offers cloud storage and computing services. It was started in 2011 and, due to its efficiency, has garnered 850 million users just 8 years after it was launched. iCloud services allow users to store data on the server so that it can be downloaded to iOS, Windows, or macOS devices.

Photos, documents, and music are all examples of data that can be stored on iCloud. The iCloud services allow users to be able to send or share this data with other people, and most importantly, it helps to track an Apple device when it’s stolen or misplaced.

This service is a better replacement for Apple’s MobileMe service, which only synchronizes emails, contacts, bookmarks, photos. MoblieMe service needs a manual backup to the host service, but iCloud can wirelessly back up the data of the iOS devices to the cloud.

What devices work on iCloud? The devices that we are using nowadays that works on iCloud are the iPhone and iPad. Essentially, when you rename image files on these devices, it means that you are renaming image files on iCloud.
