How to Purchase More iCloud Storage

How to buy more storage for your iCloud account.

Apple has replaced iPhoto with the new Photos app and launched the iCloud Photo Library feature. Now, if you want, every photo you take with your iPhone or iPad will automatically upload to the iCloud Photo Library. You can even use the library to save the full resolution images while leaving smaller, optimized images on your iOS device to save space.

If you plan to use these features, you will almost certainly need more storage on your iCloud account than the initial 5 free GB. Apple currently offers several tiers of storage:

  • 50 GB $0.99 per month
  • 200 GB $2.99 per month
  • 2 TB $9.99 per month

Here's how you upgrade your amount of storage:

Same problem here. Did you get the answer?

Did you ever get your space? I just purchased the 50 gb and assumed I'd get the space right away but I didn't. How long did you have to wait?
