Hi COR427VETTE,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We appreciate you reaching out for help downloading your data. Let's get to the bottom of this together.


To start, please let us know exactly what you mean when you say you'd like to download your data in Apple Storage to your external drive. Are you referring to data stored in iCloud?


If so, you'll want to refer to the instructions in this guide:

If you're referring to the data stored on the internal disk of your Apple device, let us know which type of device you're using. Options to back up your data vary by device.


For example, to back up an iPhone or iPad to your computer, you'll want to follow these steps:

It's important to note that there isn't an option to back up your iPhone or iPad data to an external drive.


To back up data on a Mac to an external drive, set up Time Machine using these steps:

We're here for you if you've got any questions.


Have a great day!
