Q: How much capacity is available to me in my iCloud account?

I'd like to use iCloud to store my photos, but I can't find what the capacity limits are for a single iCloud account.

    By default, you have got 5 GB of free storage when you start using iCloud. Then, you can buy extra storage (10, 20 or 50 GB). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5879

     

    There is no way to use iCloud to store photos, because Photo Stream is a syncing service and all photos there are deleted 30 days after adding them, and you can only store photos on iCloud if you took them with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, apart from not being able to access to them
