Apr 14, 2016 7:50 AM in response to dalex58by javaliga,If you are asking about when you can use the extra storage, according to this:
iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
Your plan is upgraded immediately, and the new monthly payment date is updated to reflect the purchase date for the new plan.
If you are asking for various ways to use this extra storage, here are some:
Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support
iCloud: Upgrade your iCloud storage
Basically they are backup, iCloud Drive, & iCloud Photo Library (Photo Stream). As a general note, iCloud is a syncing mechanism for you various devices, it is not meant to be used simply as external storage.
