Then why would you keep paying?

Because as soon as you stop paying you lose the space altogether.

What would you recomend for my storage needs. I value simplicty and convenience. I have an I-phone, (would need to store photos), and a mac that has documents. Over the years, I wouldn't see myslef needing more than 2TB Thanks for your response.

External hard drive for a permanent backup and 50gb of icloud (for a whole $0.99/month) for constant backups of your phone.

No. If you pay for 50gb, then you get a total of 50gb for as long as you're paying.

If you don't want to pay for cloud storage, you'll want to invest in a second external drive you can store with friends/family outside and away from your house

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
