Right now I use with three devices 10GB; need to try to cleanup a bit. Camera roll use nearly half. Or I need to pay. I don't want to miss the convenience of wifi backup. Man, I wish I could setup a private cloud with the same integration.
5gb is quite small when using iCloud to back up devices.
However they need an incredible amount of storage if it was more. 5 million iPhones sold, theoretically 5 million more iCloud users (I know a lot of people already have them, just thinking why they'd limit to 5gb without fees).
If you've got a computer that runs 24/7 setup iTunes wifi sync.
Have you looked on eac device to see what all is filling your backups?
A 5GB limit is pretty insulting, especially if you were on the 25GB free plan. It's not like they dont have enough storage here.
lol i cant even reach 5 GB and i got 2 iPhones, 1 iPod Touch and 2 iPads signed to it
Got the email myself. I'm sure a lot of people will be annoyed by this.
You'll will like it and thank them for it.
Don't you know what happens to those who insult the Profit?
I thought pictures, music and videos didn't count towards the 5 GB?

I'm curious what it using all that space? I checked my iCloud storage, and I am using .14GB of space on their server. I have my devices backed up to it, and about a dozen Pages and Numbers files, along with a couple PDFs and text files.Got the email and immediately removed my icloud backups. Hard to backup more than one device to 5GB
Yeah, my backups are around 2.8 GB for each device, so 5 GB is a bit too slim for an iPhone and iPad.
Got the email this morning.
I had that same cavalier attitude a few weeks ago. That night I smacked up against the 5gb wall. All of your devices are not backed up properly or have not completed their backups, thats why.
These people want everything and try and take advantage of Apple generosity !
- On the one hand they want excuses for a service that doesn't work.
- On the other hand they want more storage on that not-working service.
Go to Google you self-infatuated dummies !
Trust Google?!? With everything I value?
That's like putting my home address, phone numbers, driver's licence number, etc. on Facebook.
