Apple Managed Apple Account (Apple School Manager), 200 GB Netdisk and pan
fails: identityinstitutionno cardRwrite-gated
| Free tier | 200 GB of free iCloud storage per Managed Apple Account, for every student and every teacher, federated with Microsoft Entra or Google Workspace unit GiB; metered on stored-bytes |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | Not published per file |
| Retention | The account is owned by the school. Managed Apple Accounts cannot be converted to personal ones and vice versa, so the bytes are not portable on graduation |
| Egress | Normal iCloud egress, with no metering on download |
| Identity | institution an institution enrolled in Apple School Manager. The docs state Managed Apple IDs are created and owned by the school |
| Limits |
|
| Binding | write-gated The quota is real and 200 GB is respectable, but the account belongs to a school and the interface list is empty. Either the identity gate or the absent API would stop it alone. |
| Interface | unknown |
| Tooling | none. iCloud Drive for Managed Apple Accounts is reachable only through iCloud for Windows, the web app, or a managed device: there is no CloudKit-for-drive path and no WebDAV. This is the blocker, not the quota |
| Composes with | 200 GB times N accounts, where every account needs a school. Since no programmatic read path exists, the capacity cannot enter any stack for a user runs |
| Reliability | The account is owned by the institution, so the bytes are not yours and do not survive leaving it. 200 GB is also below the 500 GB filter unless multiplied, and no API exists to multiply it with |
| Notes | A faculty member could obtain this; for a user cannot, and even with a school the bytes are not portable. Recorded because it is the clearest example in the survey of capacity that exists and is unreachable for a reason that has nothing to do with the quota. |
