Best Cloud Storage or alternative...

    Hi folks,

    So I currenty have a MBP, Ipad Pro and an Iphone.

    I usually use the MBP to backup and update the Iphone.

    I am thinking of selling the MBP as I am getting more use of the Ipad Pro.

    In terms of backing up the Iphone and Ipad what is my best option?

    I am thinking I would need about 1tb in terms of current files (movies/pics/itunes/docs etc) and what I may need in the future...

    Should I keep the physical cloud so to speak of the MBP or should I invest in proper cloud storage like Dropbox or I cloud.

    What is the best "cloud" to use?

    thanks

    If you want the backup to be fully comprehensive and automated iCloud is your only option.

    DO NOT rely on iCloud as a backup - it's for syncing data across devices, not for backing it up!!!
