Regardless of the amount of internal storage your iPad has, Apple lets you have 5 GB of iCloud storage by default and this can be used to store files and back up your device in the cloud. You might think that is small, especially when your iPad is home to 1 TB of internal storage space. However, how abundant it is will depend on how your iPad is used.
iCloud does not back up the OS files, for instance, and it also does not back up files that are similar on both your iPad and iPhone. If you do not create several contents or save large amounts of songs and video files on your iPad, 5 GB can serve you for a while. But if you store a lot of files on your device, then more space will be required in no time.

Apple provides 4 storage plan options, all of which are shared among all the devices that use one Apple ID. Meaning, if you own an iPhone and an iPad, they can both work with any storage plan you go for. See a few options below:
