What is iCloud storage used for?

Is it used to store files when your iOS device's built in memory is full, or is it used for something else?

iOS 5

It is not "personal storage" as in "hard disk in the cloud". You cannot use this space really . It is all managed from the OS itself.


First - it is a backup place for your iOS device.


Second - Your personal data like contacts,ical,email is living there in the cloud plus settings for your apps.


Third - Optionally if you use iwork for iOS your documents can be stored there and accesed from a web-browser in www.icloud.com.
