Ask Kurt: Maxed out your Apple iCloud storage?
Fox News
If you've ran out of iCloud storage, there are a number of alternatives, including basic external hard drives as well as Dropbox and Google One subscriptions.
This is a common problem that people like Larry from Marshville, North Carolina, are facing. That's why I love it when people send in great questions to this tech reporter who's been on this beat for 20+ years. Here's what he's asking that you too might relate to: "I want to EMPTY all the photos from my iCloud account onto a big thumb drive. They have filled my 5GB of iCloud space and I refuse to spend more per month on photos that I already have on my desktop and my iPhone. What are my options?" Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson is an award-winning tech journalist who has a deep love of technology, gear and gadgets that make life better with his contributions for Fox News & FOX Business beginning mornings on "FOX & Friends."

However, there are some simple solutions for Larry and those who are in a similar situation as he is. Let's go over some options you can try to store your photos safely and conveniently.
