Unless you have subscribed to a paid iCloud+ storage tier, your “free of charge” storage quota is only 5GB. For most users, 5GB is only sufficient for basic synchronisation services.


Paid storage tiers are 50GB, 200GB and 2TB:

Upgrade to iCloud+ - Apple Support

iCloud+ plans and pricing - Apple Support
