The Apple iCloud service can give you more storage space to save your files, photos, and videos. It is a cloud-based tool that you can sync from one Apple device to another. Many users prefer to have a higher tier plan when it comes to their iCloud storage subscription. However, if you no longer need the extra space, you can downgrade or cancel your iCloud storage plan at anytime.
Note that the free iCloud storage plan has only 5GB of storage space. Apple One users do not need the extra iCloud storage subscription. Signing up on Apple One will already include iCloud storage service.
How to Manage your Apple iCloud Storage Subscription Plan
