Title: Apple Confirms it Uses Google Cloud for iCloud
Post by: mozart123 on April 29, 2018, 09:20:14 PM
Do you have your contacts, photos, and other data data stored in Apple's iCloud? Your encrypted files may actually be residing in Google's cloud.

As CNBC reports, the latest version of Apple's iOS Security Guide, released last month, indicates that the Cupertino tech giant is now using Google's Cloud Platform, in addition to Amazon's S3 service, to store iCloud data. In the past, Apple has used Amazon's S3 and Microsoft Azure for iCloud storage. Now, it appears Apple has ditched Azure in favor of Google Cloud Platform.

Don't worry about Google and Amazon having access to your data, though. Everything stored in iCloud—including contacts, calendars, photos, documents, and more—is encrypted.
