# How do I upgrade or downgrade my iCloud+ storage plan on a Mac?

Open **System Settings**, click your name, choose **iCloud**, then **Manage** and **Change Storage Plan** (wording varies slightly between macOS versions). Pick a bigger plan to upgrade, or choose **Downgrade Options** to move to a smaller or free plan. Apple's prices are shown there and charged to your Apple Account.

Before downgrading, check that what you store fits the smaller plan — see [what happens if I downgrade below what I use](https://storagestudio.us/faq/icloud/what-happens-if-i-downgrade-my-icloud-plan). Storage Studio doesn't sell or change iCloud plans; see [Storage Studio and your iCloud plan](https://storagestudio.us/faq/icloud/does-storage-studio-change-my-icloud-plan).
