Using iCloud on Linux

If you want to use iCloud on your Linux

system, you've probably already installed one of the native apps. If

not, you can use the snap package. It requires full system access, but

snaps are not automatically installed - you have to ask the installer

for special permissions. Once installed, the iCloud app will be

auto-updated. It also works with most major Linux apps. Here are the

steps to follow to get it working.

iCloud for Linux: The iCloud

online storage service is currently only available for Mac OS X and

Windows Vista/7 users who are connected to an Apple network. Sadly,

iCloud for Linux is not available yet, though that may change in the

future. Linux users can choose from several other cloud storage

solutions that offer many of the same features, as well as

synchronization options. For the time being, however, this service isn't

available on Linux.

First, you need to install the snap runtime

and the snapcraft store. These can be downloaded from the snapcraft

store. You can open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. You can

also press Shift instead of Alt. Then type snap install into the

terminal window. You should be able to see your iCloud account's

dashboard. You're all set to use iCloud on Linux!

The app will

then open up in the application menu. Next, you'll need to login to your

Apple ID. Once you've logged in, you can now view your most recent

saved notes and switch to other iCloud apps. Once you've successfully

logged in, you can access your email, calendar, and contacts. You'll

need to enter your Apple ID and password to sign in. The app will ask

you to confirm your Apple ID before you can access your iCloud accounts.
