how do i add a second icloud account to all three of my devices without changing apple id

My husband and I have the same apple id so that we can share our bought items from itunes. However we just bought a desktop and at that time I was encouraged to set up my own icloud account for more storage. i can not figure out how to add a second icloud to any of my devices.


my iphone and ipad have his icloud and the computer has my icloud

Your icloud account is tied to your Apple ID. Please see this discussion for some info:


One apple account with two icloud accounts


Please note that any purchases are tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them and they cannot be transferred, so if you want to create a separate Apple ID in order to get a second icloud account, you can do that - just remember to sign into your other ID when you want to update/buy/deal with the app store or iTunes.

Note that a second iCloud account may not have the same features as the main iCloud account

There is NO one line that states Mail, Contacts and Calendars. There are three separate lines for each.

I have continually tried to remove my personal gmail account from my work phone and it needs another iCloud account to replace it. That is where my issue is. Every time I attempt to create an iCloud account it suggests that will be my NEW Apple ID. I do not want to change my Apple ID; I just want another iCloud account.

I am very confused and just want a second iCloud account for work use.

Thanks
