Apple iCloud
Apple iCloud – The obvious pick if you're all-in on iPhone/Mac/iPad, since it syncs photos, files, and backups seamlessly across Apple devices.

MEGA — Worth considering for encrypted storage and a generous free tier, but I would rank it below Proton and Sync.com for a buyer who wants the most polished, dependable all-purpose experience.
