If you need more than 5GB of storage, you need to buy an iCloud storage plan. After subscribing, what will happen if you stop paying for storage?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you stop paying for iCloud, any new photos or videos will not be uploaded or backed up to the iCloud. You also won&rsquo;t be able to use your iCloud email address, and iCloud-enabled apps will no longer be updated across your iOS devices that use the same iCloud ID.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#what-happens-to-my-data-if-i-my-cancel-icloud-storage-subscription\">What happens to my data if I my cancel iCloud storage subscription?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"#what-happens-if-you-downgrade-your-icloud-storage\">What happens if you downgrade your iCloud storage?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li><li><a href=\"#what-happens-if-you-miss-a-payment-on-icloud-storage\">What happens if you miss a payment on iCloud storage?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-do-i-cancel-my-icloud-storage-subscription\">How do I cancel my iCloud storage subscription?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li><li><a href=\"#how-do-you-pay-your-icloud-storage-bill\">How do you pay your iCloud storage bill?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li><li><a href=\"#can-i-buy-icloud-storage-for-lifetime\">Can I buy iCloud storage for lifetime?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li><li><a href=\"#what-happens-to-icloud-if-i-cancel-apple-one\">What happens to iCloud If I cancel Apple One?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-do-i-know-if-i-m-paying-for-icloud-storage\">How do I Know if I &lsquo;m paying for iCloud storage?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-happens-to-my-data-if-i-my-cancel-icloud-storage-subscription\">What happens to my data if I my cancel iCloud storage subscription?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When you cancel your iCloud storage subscription and go back to the free iCloud storage plan, all your data stored in iCloud remains on iCloud for 30 days after cancellation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This 30 day grace period allows you to download all your files from iCloud locally onto your computer. After the 30-day grace period, you will lose access to all your files stored in iCloud and will no longer be able to download or view them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iCloud photo library will not save new photos and videos that you take as all your devices using the same Apple ID will stop backing up to iCloud. Neither will you be able to use your iCloud email address for sending and receiving messages, and iCloud drive and other iCloud apps will no longer update and sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The files stored in your iPhone storage will not be affected, but you won&rsquo;t be able to upload any new files, including pictures and videos, to iCloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of iCloud a bit like a streaming service: if you stop paying, you lose access to your content.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple has not made it clear whether they actually delete your data from iCloud after the grace period, but that&rsquo;s likely as you can no longer access that data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-happens-to-my-data-if-i-dont-renew-icloud-and-return-to-standard-5gb\">What happens to my data if I don&rsquo;t renew iCloud and return to standard 5GB?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you fail to renew iCloud and return to the standard 5GB plan, your new pictures, videos, and other data will no longer be synced with iCloud. Your new data will be stored on your device but not in the cloud.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will have 30 days after failing to renew your subscription to download your data from iCloud. After that period, you will lose access to your content that exceeds the 5GB limit. Your data up to 5GB of storage will still be accessible as it&rsquo;s part of the free storage space provided by Apple to all users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, suppose you had 10GB storage of photos on iCloud before canceling your subscription, and you&rsquo;re going back to the 5GB standard storage plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After canceling your subscription, you will only have access to up to 5GB of your photos (which were uploaded first) while the other 5GB of storage will become inaccessible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-cancel-icloud-storage\">How do you cancel iCloud storage?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can easily cancel your iCloud storage subscription from your iOS device as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Open Settings on your iPhone &gt; tap your

The iCloud storage plans are monthly plans that you pay for keeping your data in the cloud. You need to renew your subscription every month to continue using this service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way around this limitation is using iTunes Gift Cards. You can buy iTunes store gift cards for the value of a year&rsquo;s subscription, and then redeem those gift cards in your iTunes account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By doing this, your iCloud storage will be billed against this credit instead of your debit\/credit card.&nbsp;This allows you to pay for a year&rsquo;s worth of iCloud subscription provided you have enough credit in your iTunes account.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-buy-icloud-storage-for-lifetime\">Can I buy iCloud storage for lifetime?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Apple does not offer iCloud storage for a lifetime, the storage service involves recurring charges. You can only store your data on iCloud as long as you keep paying the monthly cloud storage fee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you pay for iCloud storage, you are basically paying Apple a rental fee to keep your data stored on their cloud servers. You can&rsquo;t buy permanent storage space for a one-time amount to keep your data on iCloud indefinitely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-buy-icloud-storage-for-one-month-only\">Can I buy iCloud storage for one month only?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Apple offers 3 monthly iCloud+ subscriptions that you can choose from if you are running low on storage:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Storage space<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price per month<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>50 GB<\/td><td>$0.99<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>200 GB<\/td><td>$2.99<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2 TB<\/td><td>$9.99<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you upgrade to one of these plans, you get the first month free. After your free trial ends, you will be charged automatically for the storage plan that you had subscribed to, unless you cancel before your free trial ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do, you will be downgraded back to the free 5GB iCloud storage plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-happens-to-icloud-if-i-cancel-apple-one\">What happens to iCloud If I cancel Apple One?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Apple One allows you to buy a package of 6 Apple services at a lower price.
