Published on 03 March 16

iCloud makes file sharing between multiple Apple devices faster and more convenient. When you buy a song from iTunes on your iPhone, it automatically goes into your computer as well as into your iPad, if you have one. Now you’ve taken a picture using your iPhone or iPad and want to share it using the PC. How do you gain access to that photo using an iCloud-enabled PC?

Step 2: Download the iCloud Control Panel. Click on the blue Download, and wait for the installer to finish downloading.

Step 3: Install the iCloud Control Panel. Click on the downloaded EXE file at the bottom of your browser to start the installation process.

If the file isn’t at the bottom of your browser, locate it in your default Downloads folder; once you’ve found the file, double-click on it to run it.
Wait for the installation to finish; the program’s shortcut icon should appear on your desktop.
