Der wahre Unterschied
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
iCloud stands out with Seamless sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac and iCloud Drive with Finder and Files app integration. OneDrive counters with Deep Microsoft 365 integration and Personal Vault for sensitive files.
iCloud's Achilles heel: terrible experience on windows and android — and 5gb free in 2026 is embarrassingly stingy. OneDrive's: sync client can be flaky — conflict files and mysterious sync failures still plague power users. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Fazit
If you value seamless sync across iphone, ipad, and mac and apple-user, die müheloses backup, go with iCloud. If microsoft 365-user, die cloud-speicher matters more, OneDrive is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
