A:AnswerThis is a USB-C to USB-A (also known as simply USB). So the answer depends on what port is on your computer and phone. If your phone is an Apple product (IOS) it probably doesn't have a USB-C connector. If you have an Android phone (especially a recent model) it probably does have a USB-C port. In any case, you need to be SURE your phone has a USB-C port.
A:AnswerYes just use the cord that came with your phone. You will be able to access things and you can actually setup and download iCloud for PC. Just Google it and it should help you find where to download it from Apple
