What do I do if my iCloud storage is almost full?

I got a message saying I have 500 MB remaining. Of 5 GB of storage space. How do I remove the data without buying more storage space?

Go to your cloud account and start removing stuff you don't need any longer.

In Finder, click on "iCloud Drive". It opens just like any other folder. Then just trash the items you want to remove. Simple as that.

The cna thing you do adverb you find a physical storage container that is almost full.

Remove what you no longer need or buy a bigger container. VERY SIMPLE. So log into your iCloud, delete everything you no longer want, or pay Apple what they ask for, for a larger iCloud account.

Or find other options for your storage needs.
My favorite is to get a external hard drive, to off load pictures, video and other media files. This way I can access them from any of my devices, tablets or computers. The last one I bought was 3 terabytes and had Wi-Fi and internet access.

Google Drive is a 15 GB free online option.

  • Storage almost full on iPhone 5? I got an iPhone 5 for Christmas and after the most recent update I've been receiving a message that says 'Storage Almost Full, manage your storage in Settings'. I have a little over 200 pictures and 300 songs, and the biggest app I have is Instagram. I share an iTunes account with my mom and my younger sister, could that be the reason that my storage is almost full?
