Okay, I'm trying to figure out what to do. I'm a dad with a full Apple Family (my wife and 4 kids).
I got my children iCloud accounts because I like the privacy of Apple Mail (no ads, and google not snooping on them from their youth).
The problem is iCloud mail stops working when I each of them hit 5 GB, and photos fill that up fast. I was paying for 200 GB iCloud+, but I've been trying to cut costs and don't want it. When I cut iCloud+, my 2 older kids 50GB photo libraries filled their 5 GB quota and their email quit.
My 2 older kids each have an iPhone, and an older MacBook Air. I'd like to clear out their online iCloud Photos but don't want to lose what is on their phones / computers. (And I'd eventually like them to be able to sync them to their devices the old fashioned way, manually with a cable).
I just find it hard to figure out how to do this step by step, and I'm not normally a tech slouch. I just seem to find all the nuances of iCloud Photos hard to work out in my head.
Thought I'd ask for help, I'm sure I'm not the only person who has had to deal with this problem.
