Just after a year of the official launch of “Data Transfer Project”, Apple also joined hands to enable data portability among cloud based service providers easier. Now with this collaboration Apple iCloud users can also move data in and out of Apple iCloud.
The hectic routine of downloading the data is gone, and you can just transfer the data from service to service. No need of going through changing your online service, as most of the users don’t change their OS from iPhone to Android just because of the photos, associated data, contacts and much more. The trouble saver is here!
