Adding additional iCloud storage does not directly affect the internal storage of your iPad. However, there are a few things you can do to take advantage of the iCloud's new capacity.

It is impossible to increase the amount of RAM or internal storage in your iPad - as this is fixed during manufacture; what you have is fixed for the life of your device. You can, however, subscribe to a higher tier of iCloud storage - but this is not a substitute for internal storage.


If your internal storage is full, your only option is to better manage the storage that you have - and delete unused Apps or unneeded data.
