Once you master its use completely, iCloud is an amazingly useful feature for iOS devices. Of all the areas handled by iPhone’s cloud service, Photo Stream is the most popular. If you own more than one Apple device, it really is convenient to have every picture you take with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch available across all your iDevices immediately. There is a slight catch though; Photo Stream only syncs photos from the Camera Roll of an iDevice.

Sharing files via email from your iOS device isn't all that convenient. By default, there is no attach option in the iPhone or iPad native Mail client. You can only email files from within other apps. In addition, the stock Mail app places restrictions on the size and number of attached files (for instance, you can attach a maximum of five photos to a single mail). However, now that file sharing web service Kicksend has released its client to the iTunes App Store, users can enjoy sharing files and photos without any limitations on size and number. Kicksend already has a desktop client; it's about time it expanded to mobile platforms. Read on for more on the Kicksend app for iOS. Update: The Kicksend app is now available for Android as well.
