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
Limits	write-gated (binding) enrolment in Apple School Manager is a prerequisite for every account source
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.
Identity	institution an institution enrolled in Apple School Manager. The docs state Managed Apple IDs are created and owned by the school
Egress	Normal iCloud egress, with no metering on download
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
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 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.
