Music Monday: Pink Floyd and “Obscured by Clouds” from 1972
Posted By RichC on July 6, 2026
Besides being a Music Monday (Pink Floyd and “Obscured by Clouds” from 1972 below), it was time to get an early handle on my cloud storage and backup accounts. I was planning on holding off in making the “cloud storage” switch until my Microsoft OneDrive was up for a yearly renewal in August, but the constant deletion and shuffling of stored files with our shared iCloud account with Apple in order to preserve space became too much. Video, photos and iPhone backups storage alone these days eats up the majority of our shared $2.99/mo 200GB of space, leaving little left for iCloud files, etc.
So … opted to start the conversion from OneDrive (and eventually will eliminate iDrive for automated backups) early and will opt to pay the current $9.99/mo for the 2TB iCloud plan.
The standard U.S. pricing structure is as follows:
- 50GB: $0.99 per month (ideal for single users with light storage needs).
- 200GB: $2.99 per month (best for small families or multi-device households; supports up to 5 HomeKit cameras).
- 2TB: $9.99 per month (for power users, photo enthusiasts, or large families; includes unlimited HomeKit camera support).
- 6TB: $29.99 per month (for professionals with large media libraries).
- 12TB: $59.99 per month (for high-volume professional workflows).
