# How do I check how much iCloud storage I have left?

Open **System Settings**, click your name, then **iCloud**. The bar at the top shows how much of your iCloud plan is used and by what — Photos, iCloud Drive, backups, Messages and so on. Click **Manage** to see each app's usage and remove data you no longer need.

That figure is about your **iCloud account**, which is separate from your Mac's own disk. Storage Studio's **Storage Profile** shows the Mac side: how much space cloud files are actually taking on this Mac, alongside your external drive.

If your account is nearly full, see [what to do when iCloud storage is full](https://storagestudio.us/faq/icloud/my-icloud-storage-is-full-what-can-i-do).
