How to purchase more storage for my iPad

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.

Upgrade to iCloud+ - Apple Support

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. 

These support pages should prove to be helpful:

“Offloading” Apps can be a helpful method of creating temporary space for a software update.

External storage options can often help with managing limited internal storage. Depending upon your iPad model, the iPad will either have a Lightning or USB-C port - and may therefore require either an Adapter or USB hub to connect the USB Storage device. If your iPad has a Lightning port, you’ll need an Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter:

iCloud is for syncing, not offloading files to free up space on a device.

If you are asking how to physically add more storage to your iPad, I'm afraid the answer is no. You cannot get more storage on any iPad. Each iPad comes with a set amount of storage that cannot be changed. You have two options:

• Buy a new iPad that offers more storage, or

• Optimize the storage on your current iPad. You can do this and possibly free up space, by deleting apps, deleting old photos you no longer need, old emails & messages. You can read more about it here: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support.

This is the same link you saw before posting here. I imagine you were hopping for a better answer.

Thanks for the correction, will edit. iCloud should be able to do that though :/

Apple didn't design it for that purpose. But, you can let them know your thoughts here:

You cannot. If you need more storage, you need to buy an iPad with greater capacity.

You are not able to do this. You must purchase a new iPad with more storage or delete existing files to free up space.
