Q: Sierra storage on Cloud free (and not part of the possible 'pay for' Apple storage?

Just downloaded Sierra, and accepted/completed the 'Store in iCloud' option to regain HD space. Is this type of storage free? And, not part of the storage that Apple would charge for, over and above the free 5GB that were offered some time ago?

MacBook Air, iOS 5.0.1

The files that you keep in iCloud Drive use your iCloud storage, so if you only have the free 5GB then that is how much storage you will have to work with.

Thank you thombirch. I have asked various questions of the community over the years, and appreciate that Apple may not always provide the full or relevant 'answer' one needs. Sierra storage sounded 'free', but I wondered!
