Download Text Messages From Iphone 5
The way this shakes out is that once a user reaches 5GB of anything on their iOS device(s) that are uploading to iCloud, there is only the choice of deleting and losing content or making the lifetime commitment of paying for cloud storage with Apple. Google & Co. solved that problem for us with Google Photos, and document content is discrete to the document, so those types of files can be backed up elsewhere, then erased from the iOS device(s) and ultimately from iCloud. Messages however, along with the associated attachments is kind of like an Outlook .pst file, in that it can't be 'subdivided' if you will. While I have found free third party software that will actually offload the iMessage and texting content from my iPhone, it won't grab the images and attachments. So, if I were to delete content from the iOS devices, I'd lose the attachments.
iCloud is, to me, the best way to back up iOS devices because it is so painless, but committed users who have multiple iOS devices with discrete content on each quickly run out of storage space on iCloud. While it is cheap to buy more space, 12 bucks a year, being unable to download to a mass storage device connected to a PC makes this a lifetime commitment.
Am I missing anything?
