There is no download page--you can't get a standalone installer for the latest versions of iCloud for Windows, you have to get it through the Microsoft Store
I am still on 7.20, as every later version kills syncing with Outlook (365) completely. No mails, no calendar, no contacts. I finally hat to go back to that old version, which was very hard to find on the net. No cure for years, no info, nothing. So be aware updating this piece of - you know...
That is, how Apple cares about security and things like that. But we now have that auto-alert database in case of illicit pictures. Let's say Apple has other priorities...
If anyone could confirm working it with Outlook (365) I would appreciate it.

I use to use this but kept having issues with syncing between Safari and Chrome (gaming pc). Maybe I'll give another go.
Hmm, interesting. With the 1Password electron + sub only + only their sync announcement Apple is actually making a decent replacement option. I think iOS 15 adds one time passwords as well making it basically a full fledged replacement...
Still nowhere near the polish of real password managers but we're getting closer! Looking up.
Sorry if you knew this already but Edge for macOS is a thing.
Haven’t been a Mac owner since last year (had to sell it for financial reasons) but I wasn’t impressed with the performance on a Mac Mini 2018!
I’m not so sure on the vague encryption part and stored in the database. Where is the database residing does a link with windows credential manager what’s the level of Christian we need to know this.
medir trrrible typos but hilarious.
correction & intended post:
I’m not so sure on the vague mention of encryption section, and stored in database. Where is the database residing? Does this database holding credentials is stored / linked to Windows’ Credential Manager in Control Panel, Creeential Manager, Web Credentials? Is the database only viewed by the user - even if not an administrator? On corporate machines is the database only accessible to the user who’s enabled iCloud sync and under their own login to windows.

I'm actually thinking this is one more reason for me to stop paying that 1Password subscription... it's just hanging in there by virtue of allowing me to securely store non-password data like passport details, but now Apple Notes allows encrypted notes, even that's becoming a less compelling justification.
Not sure I'll switch from Bitwarden yet, which has been a great replacement when I left 1PW years ago, but this is good to see. Might work for some people.
Absolutely. Is this full-blown, taking vows religious devotion or just going to church once a year on Christmas Eve? We need to know.
Yeah i wonder why they keep tweaking on this iCloud App. I mean, it’s a mixture of partly supported and unsupported browser/features.No extension for Firefox
They should fully support a browser, or don’t support it at all. If they are I unable to fully support any browser, then simply kill iCloud for Windows, but this browser/feature support mixture is pure nonsense.
What would make this most useful would be the return of Safari for Windows or an extension for Firefox. Some folks wouldn’t want to use a google or a Microsoft browser
must agree. It works pretty good most of the time. But sometimes it is February molasses slow to update. I’ve submitted many times complaints to Apple via its Feedback app. I hope they are reading these.
I can get that, if you use Safari on your Apple devices. I prefer Chrome, mostly because that's what I use on my PC. Chrome has built in password management, but those passwords aren't available to other apps on my phone that may need me to sign in (like Netflix, etc). So 1Password fills the gap for me on all my devices.
