Cloud Hosting

Though iCloud is free, it only offers 5GB of cloud storage space and that's for everything, including images and videos, which means it can quickly reach capacity. If you want to use the service as your primary cloud destination, you'll probably need to sign up for one of the iCloud+ premium plans with more storage space, which start with 50GB and range up to 2TB.

What you may not have realized when you signed up for one of these plans, assuming you're not on a free account, is that Apple has made some features exclusively available to iCloud+. Subscribers can access the beta tool iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, a custom email domain, and HomeKit Secure Video. That latter feature will cover a single camera if you're on the 50GB plan, while the 200GB plan supports up to five cameras, and the 2TB plan covers an unlimited number of cameras.

Though you may not need all of these features, they can come in handy at times. Hide My Email, for example, lets you create random email addresses so that you can sign up on websites and apps without sharing your personal email. The addresses can be created any time through the iCloud website or in the Settings app, plus they can be generated in the email field when using Safari, assuming you're using an Apple mobile device running iPadOS 15 or iOS 15.
