What about iCloud is a shambles? In my experience it works fine, I save files on one device, and then I can access them on another.

It regularly deletes music without warning -especially if I import it from CDs (that’s still a thing, for us boomers. I have even recorded vinyl records), and also regularly restores music that I delete.

I have also had it do that thing, where my (non-DRMed) song, recorded from a CD, is replaced by the DRMed “radio edit” version of the song, from Apple Music.

That’s fun.

Whether or not the sync actually happens, or if the song stays on the original device, seems to be a crapshoot.

Safari bookmark syncing is … not good. It rearranges bookmarks, refuses to delete some, refuses to sync certain ones, according to some internal algorithm. Etc.
