Export your data from iCloud (for archive and other purposes)

It is always a little bit tricky for me to find where to download all my data from iCloud in case I want to archive them at my home disk, or basically I want to remove some of my data from iCloud to avoid additional fee for cloud storage space.

  1. login to iCloud and select your user icon (right, top corner), then select “Manage Apple ID”
  2. New window should show up, select “Privacy” (left side column)

  3. Select (under Your Data) -> “Manage your data”
  4. New windows should open where you would need to authenticate (again)
  5. Request copy of your data

  6. Select data you would like to download order the download

Data will be prepared in the background and it can take like few days. You should receive an email with information, that data are ready to be downloaded.

This instruction is still valid in March, 2024. Can’t promise in the future steps will remain the same 😉
