iCloud storage and your Mac's local storage capacity are 2 different and independent things.


Buying iCloud storage will not magically give you 2TB on your Mac.


iCloud storage is on an Apple server and is used for iOS backups and file synchronization.


If you need more storage on your Mac, buy an external hard drive and move files and content out onto the external drive.
