how to move iCloud data to a thumb drive

I am reaching maximum capacity on my iCloud account and want to move my data to a thumb drive to free up online storage space. Does anyone have a simple to follow answer for me? I have an iPhone 6S, MacBook Air and Apple computer.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.1

Hey samkat01,


If I understand correctly, you want to make a copy of your iCloud data. I would recommend you read this article, it may be able to help troubleshoot the issue.


Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support

Copy documents from iCloud.com

If you upgraded to iCloud Drive, use these steps to download files stored in iCloud Drive or iWork for iCloud beta:

  1. Sign in to iCloud.com on a Mac or PC.
  2. Open the iCloud Drive, Pages, Numbers, or Keynote app.
  3. Find and select the file.
  4. Click User uploaded file or choose Download Document from the Action User uploaded file menu. The document will download to your default downloads location.

If you haven’t upgraded your account to use iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to see your files in the iCloud Drive app at iCloud.com.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one.
