## Apple Managed Apple Account (Apple School Manager), 200 GB

- `netdisk-pan/apple-managed-apple-account-200-gb` | fails-identity | evidence reported | binding write-gated | category education-ecosystem cloud
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution yes | verified 2026-11-04T00:20:56.366Z (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-19
- url https://www.apple.com.cn/education/docs/overview_of_managed_appleid.pdf
- 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 | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: Not published per file | source: [2]
- 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 | source: [1]
- egress: Normal iCloud egress, with no metering on download | metered: no | source: [2]
- identity: institution | detail: an institution enrolled in Apple School Manager. The docs state Managed Apple IDs are created and owned by the school | country: any Apple School Manager country
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - write-gated (binding): enrolment in Apple School Manager is a prerequisite for every account [2]
- binding note: 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.
- 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 a user runs
- reliability: The account is owned by the institution, so the bytes are not yours and do not survive leaving it.
- notes: A faculty member could obtain this; a user cannot, and even with a school the bytes are not portable.
- extras:
  - access_mode: institution
  - api: none
  - account_owner: the school
