Q: Is iCloud Drive a good substitute for Dropbox?
Hello.
I'm on a MacBook Air - 2014 with OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 installed.
I'm an user of iCloud Drive, but I currently only use the free 5 Gbs. I would like to upgrade to 50 Gbs.
I have an iPod Nano 3rd Generation & only this MacBook Air. My question is:
Is iCloud Drive a good substitute for Dropbox, Onedrive and other 'digital storage platforms'?
Is it safe enough to store any kind of files on it? Or is it only adequate for the iLife family apps and other Apple specific files (QuickTime, Final Cut Pro...).
Can I safely store a video on any format? Safely store Microsoft Office files on it?
If I upgrade to 50 Gbs (or more) will it be worth it?! Because currently 5 Gbs is enough for me... but if I could use it the same way I use Dropbox & Onedrive, I won't hesitate upgrading.
Thank you in advance for any help you may give me.
Best regards.
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

It offers nothing for a single device that can't be done without it Unless you use iCloud mail, in which case it offers mail). As an "off the Mac" storage solution it is no use.
