The introduction of cloud apps has really enabled people to get their eyes off those fixed computer screens and to get a life! The ever developing cloud apps have made managing, storing and sharing all the documentations easier. From creating Word document to sharing spreadsheets to storing videos, what is left to be done through cloud apps? There are really big names in the cloud world right now with newer inclusions almost every day. However, the following are the top cloud apps which can practically make life something better.
Gmail
If you do not have a Gmail account, you do not have a Gmail account. It is that inevitable these days. Besides its reliability and the availability of Google services, the best thing about Gmail would be the absolute spam-free experience that makes our lives a lot easier.
iCloud
Do Apple users love iCloud? It seems they won’t be able to imagine their iOS use without this app. You can keep all your stuff stored and secured, even if you lose you iPhone or Mac somehow.
Google Drive
Google Drive is definitely to be topping the list. For creating documents, editing and sharing spreadsheets, storing data, photos, videos are possible with it. It holds the power to be a virtual office with all the needed features. Moreover, you can share this virtual office with your colleagues and friends in order to collaborate on any project.
WordPress
How is WordPress a cloud app? Well, in every sense. It enables a user to get a domain name along with the options to store and share all their written contents, photos and media files you want to post on your blog. If the WordPress site is packed with great plug-ins, it can be a very successful venture in the online world.

Dropbox
Many will wonder why Dropbox is coming so late in this list. It is probably so because it only provides you with online storage whereas the other top apps allow the users to do many extra things that you used to do on your computer.
iA Writer
People, who use iOS and need to write and edit texts all the time, will find this app quite handy. What is really great, your docs can be synchronized throughout all your devices and all changes you make to a text are applied to it on your iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Pandora
Used to free music downloads on your iPhone? That is what Pandora is famous for actually. This is one app that practically replaced the iTunes app and all it needs is a free account creation to get the song downloads rolling.
Zoho Office Suit
This is another top-notch cloud app that helps people to do everything that can be done with an office suit without being at the office at all.

This is nothing but one must-have app for people who would like some help in managing their expenses. This app keeps track of all of their financial accounts and records things proficiently.
