When buying an iPad, you will quickly learn that storage comes at a premium. If you choose between a regular iPad or an iPad Air, each comes with only two storage options. The first is 64 GB, which is not a lot of space, and the second is 256 GB, which is much more space but also costs significantly more money. That doesn’t even bring into the equation the iPad Pro, which costs more at its lowest than the others at its highest.
So, if you are someone who doesn’t want to plop down those massive upfront charges but needs significant space to store things, using iCloud is an excellent option. There are people who want to use other third-party cloud services like Dropbox, but having a cloud seamlessly integrated into your system makes things so much easier. Even better is that it perfectly integrates with all your other Apple devices. If you want to get the most bang for your buck, there’s also the Apple One subscription, which includes expanded iCloud storage and Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+, and more. iPad files can be quite large, so not taking advantage of this storage option would be a major misstep.
