How to manage your iCloud storage
iCloud is a great way to keep your photos, videos, and documents backed up and accessible on all your devices. But as your collection grows, you might find yourself bumping up against your free 5GB storage limit. If that happens, you have a few options for managing your iCloud storage.
First, you can buy more iCloud storage. Apple offers three tiers of iCloud storage: 50GB for $0.99 per month, 200GB for $2.99 per month, or 2TB for $9.99 per month.
If you don’t want to pay for more iCloud storage, you can free up space in your iCloud storage by deleting items that you no longer need. For example, you can delete old backups of your iPhone or iPad from iCloud, or delete photos and videos that you’ve already downloaded to your device.
You can also choose which apps can access your iCloud storage. By default, all apps that use iCloud will have access to your full 5GB of storage (or more, if you’ve bought additional storage). But if there are certain apps that you don’t want using up your iCloud storage space, you can turn off their access in the Settings app.
How to use iCloud Keychain
iCloud Keychain is Apple’s password management system. It was introduced with iOS 7 in 2013. It stores your passwords, credit card information, and other sensitive data in the cloud and makes it available across all your devices.
iCloud Keychain is accessible through the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu, then tap iCloud. Scroll down and tap Keychain.
If you’re using macOS Sierra or later, you can also access iCloud Keychain by opening the Safari web browser and selecting Preferences from the Safari menu. Click Passwords, then click Details.
To use iCloud Keychain, you need to have an Apple ID and be signed in to iCloud. You also need to have two-factor authentication enabled for your Apple ID.
How to use iCloud Drive
To use iCloud Drive, you need an Apple ID and iCloud storage. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one.

When you upgrade to a new device or computer, you can choose to restore it from your iCloud backup.
