You call it a Cloud, but it looks like a Silo
I predict that Apple’s iCloud will have the same problems inherent to every other mass “cloud” effort to date: no awareness of family.
If you share a computer or device with others, you know what I’m talking about. It’s not just my photos, music, and books. It’s OUR photos, music, and books. And yet, they are always tied to just one user account in these services, with any sharing happening manually or through clunky workaround interfaces like iTunes Library sharing (ugh!).
Businesses are in a similar situation, of course, but employees get paid to transfer data between silos.
What am I asking for? Give me (us) a way to set up groups and sync information and files across multiple user accounts. Based on recent history, I fear that this is not even on the radar at Apple (or Google) (or Amazon). But we’ll see.
