Clean your MacbookĪfter years of use, it is not simply the quantity of files that you have on your Macbook that takes up a lot of space. An extra 5Gb is completely free and an extra 50Gb only costs $0.99 per month. When you upload your pictures or songs to iCloud, you will still have access to them whenever you use your Macbook, even though they are technically stored on iCloud.
If you have tried managing your files and can't forfeit a whole lot to free up some space, then you can opt to get extra storage space on iCloud.
