    Download iCloud Backup Files

    I can only see some part of the data on iCloud.com. What if I want to see the complete data including text messages on iCloud, how can I do it? Do I have to use some rubbish to download it on PC?

    Is the data your own? Or someone elses?

    I don't think you can do it that way. The only way to do get at your backup data is to download it onto a spare iOS device, and use a iOS explorer type program (such as iExplorer https://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/ or Phoneview http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/25347/phoneview) to view those text messages and export all the data you want (to PDF for example).

    Also make a backup to your PC and you can use those programs to view those backups which you have created.
