Oh that's good about photo stream as I have several photos shared via
photo stream and no I did not run out of storage. I am using the free 5
gb plan.

If you turn on iCloud Backup, that will back up your app data, text
messages, call history and so forth to iCloud, giving you a great
safety net. Under settings/iCloud/Storage and Backup/Manage Storage,
you can select the backup section pertaining to your device, and then
turn off specific apps from having their data backed up if you find
that backups are too large.
Also under this same manage storage section, you can see which apps
are syncing to iCloud. Separate from backup, this allows an app to
synchronize data with iCloud which offers a number of advantages. For
example, Downcast can sync with iCloud meaning your podcast
subscriptions can be available on any iOS device that you own.
Some data is synced to iCloud which you just can't see at all, an
example being the Fleksy dictionary, and certain settings such as
which cities you've added to the weather app. I'm a bit unclear on why
these can't be seen by the user, but it's not a big deal.
For just storing regular files in iCloud, there's no direct way to do
it but you can download a file manager app such as Filer and transfer
files into the app by any means that you wish. As long as iCloud
Backup is turned on, those files will be backed up as part of the data
for the file manager app.
Also, go nuts with the photo stream, as it doesn't count towards your
iCloud storage quota!

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to best use the limited free storage available
on iCloud to back up and synck devices.
Music, books, podcasts are stored on iTunes on my PC. How should I set up my
devices for optimal use of iCloud?
I'll appreciate any insights into this.
Best, Keith
