Privacy concerns. Speed. Efficiency. Mobile data costs.


Well, the backup can be encrypted. It also doesn't use "mobile data" (over wi-fi). And speed and efficiency, I never had any problem with.

Any comparable service doing it better? Because those are general concerns, nothing special about iCloud.


Noting that those are just dimensions, and not an explanation, is there any better alternative on any handset along any of those dimensions? (also icloud backup doesn't use mobile data)
