ICloud subscription

[ForumRider]

Just wondering anyone here really did subscribe to iCloud additional storage? I am considering it now...

 

[dawntime]

Me. Base offering at $1.28 per month. Cheap.

 

[ForumRider]

Yup so it total to $12.80 a year... Look harmless lol

Just thinking how many people actually took up the subscription.

I'll probably subscribe to the 200GB/1TB one when iOS 10 and macOS Sierra gets released because of the optimise storage feature. It's not really expensive.

For now since I'm not using much iCloud (not even photos), I'm fine with the 5GB tier.

Been using it for a while. I signed up back when they had annual plans and was paying for a 15gb storage. For only a couple dollars more and paid per month now, I'm on the 50gb plan. I also bought a separate subscription for my fiance, and one for my parents as well. For the small price to pay each year, it ensures that all devices are regularly backed up as we have quite a few iOS devices which benefit from this. I even pay for the iCloud Match too for my music as it's so helpful having access to playlists/music on all devices at all times (even though I also have Spotify Premium).

Yup 5 gig storage now is very little. Esp when I have my iPad and iphone backup to iCloud. It's barely enuff. What's more when I m backing up WhatsApp with pics and video inside.

I m still considering to subscribe to the plans.

Btw any one encountered any issue with their service before? How was it like?

If I take 50 gig plan, that means I getting 55 gig in total (include free 5 gig) right??

we are paying it for 2 accounts.
start with 50GB first. you can upgrade to 200GB anytime since it is a monthly plan

Nope, it's a total of 50GB (inclusive of the free 5GB)

Unfortunately you can't share. It's tied down to your Apple ID.

Small price to pay for
a) backups (once you've lost important data/photos you learn that <$5/mth is a cheap insurance policy); and
b) music everywhere (frustrates me greatly not having access to my music)

mine 150 gb plan, used 20+ gb.
probably I got a lot of iOS devices

I'm confused- why would you sign up for a bigger cloud storage plan than you actually need? Seems to miss out on one of the great benefits of the scalability of the cloud.

I have the 50 gb iCloud plan. Just photos alone already more than 8 gb, so not much of a choice.

Plus, iOS 10 will have some desktop syncing feature on the Mac. Will be interesting to see how it works, but no doubt they will suck quite a bit of cloud storage.

Guys I have subscribe to 50 gig plan liao
Now still have 42 gig available after backing up ipad n iphone.

Thought of backup photos, but it will delete those photos not taken by iphone which I sync from laptop

Some of the apps's data. You can take a look at the icloud settings.

I subscribe to the 200gb plan. Take it as buying insurance

 

[ralliart12]

A long time ago, were we able to subscribe to annual plans for the best rate?
