Q1. "i've tried on iTunes as well. phone is up to date"

A1. Do these 3.75-4GB a time. being 40GB of data, it seems it would take 10 times just to upload and transfer it all successfully. Note that not too long a go, everyone had 2GB - they doubles the storage, free-of-charge for those who have the option of iCloud use.


Q2.The size of download is too much for Icloud storage space. Please provide a different solution. I am talking about 40gigs of storage.

A2 Compressing the files wont do. But if you had just over 4GB, you would drag them all into a folder, right-click on it, select compress, and then upload the ZIP file. You could use a different cloud storage service, such as that of your ISP.


Q3. Is this Apples way of making us buy Icloud storage?

A3.



Q4. please provide fix for the issue.

A4. To be upfront about it, what you would need to do is upgrade your iCloud Storage Plan: iCloud storage plans and pricing - Apple Support
