If you have an iPhone but use a Windows computer, then you gain a great deal more compatibility if you use iCloud. Thankfully, there exists an iCloud client for Windows, so you can sync your photos and manage your iCloud storage from your PC.
如果您拥有iPhone但使用Windows计算机，则使用iCloud可以获得更多的兼容性。 值得庆幸的是，有一个适用于Windows的iCloud客户端，因此您可以从PC同步照片并管理iCloud存储。
You can use the iCloud for Windows client so you’ll have all your photos, mail, files, and other information available not only on your iPhone, but also your Windows computer as well.

When you download and install the client, you will first need to agree to the license agreement.

We point this out because there’s an option at the bottom of the agreement that will let you opt to automatically check for updates for iCloud and other Apple software.

Once installed, you will need to sign into iCloud with your Apple ID and password.

Before you can continue, you will need to verify your identity. Here we use our phone number and enter the code that we get in a text message.

You might get a message that you need to repair iCloud for Windows to work with Outlook. You can repair the error immediately or wait until another time.

If you want to send diagnostic and usage data to Apple, here is where you will make that decision.
如果要将诊断和使用情况数据发送到Apple，请在此处做出决定。
Here is the main iCloud for Windows interface. You’ll be able to turn your iCloud Drive as well as Photos syncing on or off by checking the box next to each.
这是Windows的主要iCloud界面。 选中每个旁边的框，即可打开或关闭iCloud云端硬盘以及照片同步功能。

选择“照片”旁边的“选项...”，您可以选择要同步的内容以及iCloud照片位置在硬盘驱动器上的位置。
iCloud will place a drive in File Explorer, which will give you fast access to your iCloud Photos.
iCloud将在文件浏览器中放置一个驱动器，这将使您可以快速访问iCloud照片。
The iCloud for Windows client will also place an icon in the system tray for easy access to iCloud.

If you want to sync your bookmarks for Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox, you can choose to do so with the iCloud for Windows client.

In the case of Chrome, you will need to first install the iCloud Bookmarks extension for Chrome.

On the main interface screen, you can click the “Account Details…” button to manage your Apple ID and opt in or out of sending anonymous diagnostic information to Apple.
在主界面屏幕上，您可以单击“帐户详细信息…”按钮来管理您的Apple ID，并选择启用或退出向Apple发送匿名诊断信息。
Click the “Storage” button to manage your iCloud storage. Clicking on “Photo Library”, for example, will tell you how many photos and videos are stored in iCloud and how much space that its occupying.
单击“存储”按钮以管理您的iCloud存储。 例如，单击“照片库”将告诉您iCloud中存储了多少照片和视频以及它占用了多少空间。
You can manage other aspects such as the documents stored inside Preview, which you can delete to free up a little space.
您可以管理其他方面，例如存储在“预览”中的文档，您可以删除这些文档以释放一些空间。
You can also access other aspects of iCloud such as your Calendar, Contacts, Keynote presentations and more. You will find all these links under the “iCloud” heading in the Start menu.
您还可以访问iCloud的其他方面，例如日历，联系人，主题演讲等。 您可以在“开始”菜单的“ iCloud”标题下找到所有这些链接。
Before you can access many of these items, however, you will again need to sign in from your browser.
但是，在访问其中许多项目之前，您将再次需要从浏览器登录。
You won’t be able to access or manage anything until you again verify your identity via text message.
在您再次通过短信验证您的身份之前，您将无法访问或管理任何内容。
When you have verified your identity, however, you will then be able to see your calendar, contacts, mail, and much more.
但是，当您验证了自己的身份后，您将可以看到您的日历，联系人，邮件等等。
Clearly, using an iPhone with Windows means that having access to iCloud from your PC is a must.
显然，在Windows上使用iPhone意味着必须从PC上访问iCloud。
If you don’t use an iPhone, then you can obviously defer to other storage services such as Dropbox or OneDrive, but as we mentioned, to really take advantage of your iPhone and iCloud, you should be able to access and manage it from your PC as well.
如果您不使用iPhone，则显然可以使用其他存储服务，例如Dropbox或OneDrive，但是正如我们提到的，要真正利用iPhone和iCloud，您应该能够从您的iPhone中访问和管理它。个人电脑也是如此。
