    I'd say it's more like adding temporary storage (not memory). 

     

    Your "permanent" storage for music, photos and documents should be a computer.

     

    IClouds real strength is to sync critical information across devices in a seamless fashion.  Data is typically stored within the application.

     

    Other cloud storage applicatiosn like Dropbox. Skydrive allow a more more free format for what you store - none add memory though.

     

    Hope this helps
