Apple One subscribers have the ability to purchase cloud-based storage space beyond what's included in their plan, meaning that users can get up to 4TB of iCloud storage for the first time.
Previously, the largest iCloud storage plan that Apple offered was 2TB. With the release of Apple One on Friday, users have the opportunity to purchase additional iCloud storage space beyond the amount included in an Apple One plan.
As Apple notes in new iCloud Settings text, "you can purchase iCloud storage in addition to your 2TB Apple One plan." That means an Apple One Premier subscriber, for example, can nab up to 4TB of total iCloud storage.
Apple maintains its standard prices for this additional iCloud storage space. That means paying for an additional 2TB of space will cost users $9.99. With an Apple One Premier plan, that's a total of $39.94 a month. While that bodes well for users who need to maximize the amount of cloud storage space, it could also be a useful option for those who subscribe to Apple One Family or Individual plans.

This still does me no good.
Currently:
Family Music $14.99
2TB iCloud $9.99
The Family bundle doesn't work, 200 GB isn't enough storage.
The Premier bundle doesn't *save* me money unless I want 2 more services (or Fitness+) I don't already subscribe to.
Adding the 2TB to the Family bundle moves the cost up to $30, same situation.
I had the 2TB plan iCloud storage plan. I just subscribed to the Apple One Premier. Now my iCloud storage shows I have 4TB.
My iCloud 2TB storage plan shows it is still an active subscription, and it does not state that it will be assimilated into the Apple One Premier subscription.
So what will happen, if I cancel the existing 2TB iCloud? Does everything dissapear? Then rebuilt on the new Premier 2TB plan?
There is a link in the Apple One Premier subscription confirmation email I received, Learn what happens to your iCloud storage plan when you sign up for Apple One, but the link is to a non existent page https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211784.
I have 2TB now at $9.99. I’m guessing I can’t get only the 4TB iCloud storage and not the other stuff?
I use both iCloud and Dropbox. I just don't feel that iCloud is on par with what Dropbox offers, particularly in the business arena. Has anyone in a similar position made the jump to 100% iCloud?
