How do I Inspect my iCloud contents?

Hi
I got an offer to get more iCloud space for $1 a month because they said I was running out of space
It seemed like a good deal. How can I see what is on there? I don't know what's using so much space!

Thanks

It will also tell you how much space each of the backups are taking up in the cloud.

It looks like it's mostly photos.
Goes back to even 2013.

What else do people store in the cloud?
I am working on an epic game in Java. Can my code backups and such go to the cloud?
Can I automate my mother's unlimited photo collection to go there as well, right from her camera, or computer only?

Thanks

You can backup everything to the cloud, such as music, photos, contacts, messages etc. For me since I take a lot a photos I backup to my computer, I leave room in the cloud for a recovery backup. Music can always be recovered via ITunes. ITunes has a record of all your music purchases and you can re-downloaded at anytime.

Yes you can upload your mother's photo collection to iCloud Photo Library. The synchronization will be automatic once you enabled iCloud Photo Library in Setting.

You can iCloud Drive just like Dropbox or Google Drive. There's a folder in OS X's finder called iCloud Drive and that's the place dropping your files. If you want to use it on Windows then you need to download iCloud for Windows.
