Which account am I using?

I think I have 2 icloud accounts, one personal, and one that was set up automatically on my work computer. I want to store a large number of photos and I want them to go onto my personal account. For that reason I also want to pay for more storage space on my personal account.

I don't seem to be able to switch to my personal apple ID in order to upload the photos to my personal account or to pay for more storage there.

I am using the work computer... I have no other, as the vehicle but want to keep the accounts separate.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.14

Hey Teapot63,

You'll only be able to sign in to one Apple ID (iCloud) account at a time in the System Settings. Have you considered creating a new user account for your personal data? This way you'd be able to sign in to your personal Apple ID (iCloud) account there and keep the data separate, with no risk of losing data by signing in and out of the Apple ID. Here are some guides to help create the account and sign in to the iCloud services:

Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support

Sign in to iCloud on all your devices - Apple Support

After the new user account is created and you're signed in with your personal Apple ID, use these steps to upgrade the storage: Upgrade to iCloud+ - Apple Support

We hope this helps.

Take care!
