Apple offers 5GB of free cloud storage to every Apple ID, for backing up photos, documents , etc. Since the service launched in 2011, the company has only given away 5GB for free. However, cloud storage has become increasingly popular in recent years, and Apple iCloud is one of the most well-known cloud storage options available. With a range of features and benefits, iCloud offers users the ability to access their files and data from anywhere in the world, as well as share information across multiple devices.
Additionally, there's iCloud+ , which offers a few extra features beyond simply storing photos, documents, and other files in the cloud . These extra features include, among others, Private Relay and HomeKit Secure Video access . Paid iCloud+ plans are currently available in three tiers: 50 GB, 200 GB, and 2 TB.
