It can be said that 5GB of iCloud storage space is difficult to meet the needs of users. If you only store a few documents, contacts, and memos, 5GB may be enough. For users who frequently take photos, record videos, and back up their devices, 5GB may soon be insufficient. You may need to purchase more iCloud storage space, such as 50GB, 200GB, 500GB, or even 2TB packages.

As we all know, Apple provides iCloud users with just 5GB of free storage. For iPhone users, there are so many files stored on the iPhone. Normally, 5GB of iCloud space can only store 2,000-5,000 photos (Depending on photo size). And there are often a large number of videos, information and other files on our iPhones. So, the 5GB of iCloud storage is not enough for most iPhone users.

Choosing how much iCloud storage space you need mainly depends on the following factors:

• Number of devices: You need to check how many devices you need to sync data to iCloud, such as iPhones, iPads, Mac computers, etc.
• Data type and amount: If you use iCloud Photo Library and want to keep high-resolution photos and videos, the storage requirements will be huge. Some applications (such as Notes, Documents, Health Data, etc.) will sync data to iCloud. If you make regular iCloud backups of your iPhone or iPad, all the data on the device will be included, which takes up a lot of storage space.
• Usage habits: If you frequently use iCloud to store documents and data, you need large storage plans.

If you have a large number of files to store, the 5GB iCloud storage space is insufficient for you. Here, I recommend a professional backup option - EaseUS MobiMover. EaseUS MobiMover can help you back up your whole iPhone to the computer in one click. This will not take up the iCloud storage.
