How I can figure out if my data has backed up to iCloud?

Hi,


My MacBook Pro has water damage and won’t turn on. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can figure out if my data has backed up to iCloud? When I go on the iCloud website there’s nothing under the computers tab. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong. PLEASE help!!

Apple has iCloud Backup for iPhones and other iOS devices but not for computers. It does have options to sync data to iCloud. For that to happen you would need to have turned on the desired sync options (e.g., iCloud Photos, iCloud Drive - with Dekstop and Documents option if desired, Notes, Contacts, etc.).

See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

What is iCloud Drive? - Apple Support

and

Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive - Apple Support


If those options were on you should be able to see the synced data by using a computer internet browser and logging into www.icloud.com

At iCloud.com, look in the Photos app there for photos, iCloud Drive for files, etc.
