Apple has officially launched iCloud.com for developers and has announced the pricing of extra storage for those who need more than the free 5GB that is given to every user. As of right now, Apple’s iCloud service adopts the iOS look and feel, even going as far as using the iOS notification bubble design to inform users they don’t have a developer account when denying them access during login. The only new app for the service appears to be a Web app for iWork that outlines users iCloud-stored Keynote, Pages, and Numbers documents. Apple also unveiled the pricing of the extra storage for users who need to go beyond the free 5GB that everyone is given. Users will be able to get a full refund on their extra storage purchase if their order is canceled within the 15 days of upgrading or45 days after an annual subscription is renewed. The pricing is as follows: $20 a year/10GB extra storage (total 15GB)$40 a year/20GB extra storage (total 25GB)$100 a year/50GB extra storage (total 55GB) The folks over at MacStories put together a table which allows you to compare Apple’s iCloud pricing to Drop and SugarSync’s cloud storage pricing. As of right now Apple’s pricing is nearly identical to that of Dropbox and SugarSync. Both Dropbox and SugarSync do offer a 30GB and 60GB plan that are $10 more than Apple’s 20GB and 50GB offerings. It isn’t really a comparison to Apple’s though as iCloud is much more than an online hard drive though. It syncs contacts, documents, emails, music, photos, and other documents across a users full array of desktop and mobile devices. One thing to note is that iCloud is still more expensive than Amazon’s Cloud Drive. The Cloud Drive offers incremental storage upgrades that consist of 20GB, 50GB, 100GB, 200GB, 500GB, and 1000GB packages, all for a $1/GB or half the per GB cost of iCloud. As of right now for a limited time, Amazon isn’t counting songs uploaded to users’ Cloud Drive accounts against their storage space. What do you think of iCloud?
