Hello all:

am now using Icloud + and Dropbox for cloud storage,
Frankly, I did not want to use Icloud +, but i should because my Whatsapp backup is so big, this is why am using it,
but the question here:
can we use only Icloud + in our life? i mean can we share files with others? if they do not have icloud or not so good in using internet?
all i need is when am sharing a file with someone all i need is make him / her download the file,
that is it,
is it possible. with Icloud through mac?

You can share folders in iCloud Drive, and I'm pretty sure you can share links as well, but I'm not really a heavy iCloud user, as I only have the free 5 GB tier. Depending on how much storage you want and/or need, iCloud can be cheaper than Dropbox.

I abandoned Dropbox years ago, and haven’t looked back. Thoug, I also have Google Drive, since I’m using Gmail as my mail. Both iCloud and google’s sharing capabilities works much better than Dropbox.
