Preface

Here is my translation following the guidelines provided:

We rewind the timeline to Apple’s news in 2018. At Apple’s 2018 education-themed event,Here is my translation of the Chinese text, following the provided guidelines:

Apple’s Official Introduction to the Education EditionUnfortunately, your original Chinese text seems to be incomplete. The part provided is just “Apple announced that it will for teachers and students”. Without the full sentence or context, it’s difficult to accurately translate while maintaining the original meaning, structure, and style. Please provide the complete Chinese text you need translated, and I’ll do my best to follow the guidelines you specified.Here is my translation following the provided guidelines:

Free provision of 200GB of iCloud cloud storageHere is my translation following the guidelines provided:

“…compared to the previously free 5GB storage space included, it has increased 40 times. Apple officially stated, “iCloud can securely store students’ documents and creative projects, allowing them to easily update and access this content from various devices, keeping it safe. All teachers or students with a Managed Apple ID will receive 200GB of free iCloud storage space.””

Here is my translation of the Chinese text to English, following the provided guidelines:

200GB of free iCloud storage space is not obtained simply by applying for free with a student edu email address; there are certain requirements. Apple has made it clear that only a managed Apple ID can be used, which essentially refers to the Apple ID provided to students by schools or educational institutions. For the latter case, users can still only use the standard 5GB of free storage space.Okay, I’m ready to translate the Chinese text you provide while following the guidelines you specified. Please go ahead and provide the original Chinese text.Here is my translation following the guidelines provided:

It refers to the school submitting an educational application to Apple Inc. at the institutional level, signing a cooperation agreement between the school and Apple Inc., reaching a consensus on online education and procurement of teaching equipment, and only after gaining approval from Apple Inc. can the school obtain an institutional-managed Apple ID, which can then be allocated for use by teachers and students.

Here is my translation following the given guidelines:

Inside the Market

Regarding the purchase of iCloud accounts, in my opinion, buying from platforms like Xianyu or Taobao is unreliable. These platforms operate on a no-inventory model, where sellers are not administrators but merely resellers acting as intermediaries. Additionally, these platforms prohibit trading virtual network accounts. Therefore, many sellers on these platforms offer accounts at extremely low prices to quickly boost sales volumes, as there is a high likelihood of their shops being shut down. They aim to make a quick profit and move on. Online reports of situations where iCloud accounts get locked, and sellers or shops disappear, refer to these types of cases. If an account encounters issues or requires administrator assistance, the sellers have no ability to handle it because users initially purchased the accounts at meager prices on these e-commerce platforms. As a result, online users tend to assume that such accounts are unreliable. However, I believe the issue lies in not finding a truly reliable and secure channel.

Locked-out Incident

Here is my translation of the Chinese text to English, following the provided guidelines:

First, the official Apple iCloud 200G policy link: https://www.apple.com/education/k12/deploy-and-manage/

Here is my translation of the Chinese text to English, following the provided guidelines:

It’s important to talk about the issue of locked accounts. After the author’s research over 2 days, this situation is quite common on Xiaohongshu and Bilibili. Almost all are cases where a $30 iCloud account purchased from certain Taobao, Tmall or other e-commerce platforms got locked. There are also posts from Bilibili users showing feedback with images. After consulting with the American school administrator on the edu website based on their feedback images, we learned that it’s highly likely the accounts were intentionally locked by the vendors. Since the campus version of iCloud backend doesn’t have a locking function, the users’ iCloud accounts are actually not affected. The issue is caused by vendors integrating unauthorized third-party accounts into the iCloud backend, resulting in problems when the proxy rights to the purchased iCloud accounts expire or get suspended for violations, leading to the third-party account getting locked. However, iCloud itself is not affected. The vendors can unlock the third-party accounts. In fact, simply exporting and importing would resolve it.

Here is my translation following the provided guidelines:

The first type of feedback:Here is my translation of the Chinese text to English, following the provided guidelines:

These e-commerce merchants, in order to make another wave of money, deceive users by saying they need to renew authentication to unlock, and newbies consider that since it was bought at a low price the first time or was given by someone else, they endure it. After all, the renewal fee is only a few dozen yuan. As a result, they paid again, causing a large number of netizens to have strong negative emotions and misunderstandings about iCloud 200G accounts, because all those on Pinduoduo are using domestic elementary and middle school accounts, with a 99% probability of being blocked.

Here is my translation following the provided guidelines:

Second type of feedback:Here is my translation of the Chinese text to English, following the provided guidelines:

Additionally, due to e-commerce platforms prohibiting the trade of virtual account items, it’s very normal for some netizens to report that the store has gone missing or run away. This further reinforces users’ belief in the instability of iCloud. It’s recommended that when making purchases, netizens should ask the seller if they have a personal blog or influential self-media account, or if they are an administrator at an expert level.

Here is my translation, following the guidelines provided:

So you must find the real big boss who ultimately owns the administrator to make the purchase. The author obtained it through the edu official website purchase platform, which is also the longest-running educational resource platform in the industry. The administrators are all from an educational institution. After purchasing, you can directly join the educational edition cloud disk teacher WeChat group.

Here is my translation while following the given guidelines:

Education Edition Features

Regarding the various shortcomings of the education version circulating in the market, the education account does not have wallet functions, app purchases, Apple Pay, Find My iPhone, or HomeKit-supported home features. The account provided by the platform can be viewed as a single iCloud account. After using it, the wallet (transit cards, credit cards, etc.), Find My iPhone, HomeKit-supported features, and the newly added “Sign in with Apple” in some apps cannot be used, but all other functions can be used normally.

Here is my translation following the guidelines provided:

Some functions are shown in the following figure:

Here is my translation following the guidelines provided:

The author believesHere is my translation of the Chinese text to English, following the provided guidelines:

This is purely an educational version of an iCloud account, where you log in using an Apple ID form, but it does not fully possess all the functions of a regular user’s Apple ID. This is because the educational version is positioned to serve campuses, not for commercial purposes. So, don’t compare it with a regular Apple ID account. For example, if you lose your own Apple ID, the educational iCloud account you purchased from the institution will not be affected. This is the benefit of keeping them separate, called risk balancing.

Version Differences

Here is my translation while following the given guidelines:

Today we are reviewing the edu website’s American iCloud 200G Fusion edition account, which is the default Fusion account for the teacher version.

Here is my translation following the provided guidelines:

Because according to the current situation of Internet Apple iCloud education edition 200GB cloud disk account version resources, it is divided into two types: one is the student version and the teacher version:

Unfortunately, the provided text is incomplete. I can only translate complete sentences from Chinese to English while following the specified guidelines. If you provide the full text, I’ll be happy to translate it for you accurately and naturally while preserving the original meaning, structure, technical terms, proper nouns, tone, and style as closely as possible.Here is my translation of the Chinese text to English, following the provided guidelines:

Fixed two-factor authentication code, does not support binding a phone number. In addition, for the student version, logging into any device requires a device verification code to be verified first, and then entering the iCloud password. This device verification code is valid for 1 year, and after expiration, you need to obtain it again from the institution administrator, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, the teacher version is mainly used in the market currently.

Here is my translation following the guidelines provided:

The teacher’s edition isHere is my translation following the provided guidelines:

Support binding a mobile number and obtaining a dynamic two-factor verification code, without needing a device verification code, so when we choose ourselves, we mainly use the teacher version, and try to avoid selecting the student version.

Here is my translation following the given guidelines:

According to the current situation of the 200GB cloud disk accounts for the Apple iCloud education edition on the internet, they are divided into two types based on the country resources: the domestic cloud Guizhou edition and the overseas edition.

Here is my translation following the provided guidelines:

The domestic cloud-based Guizhou edition isHere is my translation of the Chinese text to English, following the given guidelines:

The data is stored with the Guizhou company on the cloud. Domestic companies have the right to access user data. The use of these services and all data stored through iCloud (including photos, videos, documents, and backups) will be subject to the new iCloud (operated by Guizhou Cloud) terms and conditions. In other words, the data risk and uncertainty of the domestic education version of the Guizhou Cloud version is relatively high. The overseas version is more prevalent on the market because the Guizhou Cloud version requires real-name authentication from institutions, which carries legal and data risks. Since the source of the domestic education version is from domestic teachers and students, this version is a counterfeit impersonating others, so theoretically, this version is not secure.

Unfortunately, the provided text is incomplete. Please provide the full Chinese text you would like me to translate while adhering to the specified guidelines.Here is my translation following the guidelines provided:

Data is stored on servers located in the country of the educational institution, without real-name authentication steps, ensuring reliable protection of personal privacy and security.

Here is my translation following the given guidelines:

According to the current situation of Apple iCloud education edition 200GB cloud disk accounts on the internet, there are two types again: the single account version and the integrated version.

Single Account VersionHere is my translation following the provided guidelines:

It’s just that the school only uses one service, Apple iCloud, simply the 200G iCloud cloud storage account, suitable for users who only use iCloud.

Here is my translation following the provided guidelines:

The integrated edition is the most popular version currently.Here is my translation following the given guidelines:

It is that the school originally adopted educational discount cloud drives from other commercial companies, but now it has integrated iCloud cloud drive as well, which means having multiple cloud drives. This evaluation is in this form – a 100GB Microsoft OneDrive cloud drive + a 200GB iCloud cloud drive + an edu email address. It is suitable for users who need to transition between iCloud and OneDrive.

After logging in, return to the Settings app on your iPhone, and you’ll notice that you’re only logged into the App Store, not iCloud. At this point, you can log into an iCloud account different from the App Store account (there will be a prompt, choose the option “Not [your Apple ID email]”).

After logging into Microsoft, Apple’s backend will automatically generate an iCloud account with the same name, which the user is not aware of on the front end. It’s also very simple to change the password. You don’t need to change the password through iCloud, just change the password on the Microsoft side, and it will sync to iCloud.

Purchase Recommendations

Regarding purchasing an iCloud account, I believe that buying from platforms like Xianyu or Taobao is unreliable. This is because these platforms likely operate on a no-inventory model, where the sellers are not administrators but rather resellers acting as intermediaries. Furthermore, these platforms prohibit the trading of virtual network accounts. Consequently, many sellers on these platforms offer accounts at extremely low prices to quickly generate sales volumes, as there is a high probability of their shops being shut down. Online reports of issues like locked iCloud accounts, sellers disappearing, and shops vanishing are referring to such situations. If an account encounters problems or requires administrative assistance to access the account, the sellers lack the capability to resolve the issues.

Here is my translation following the given guidelines:

Because users originally purchased these accounts on e-commerce platforms at extremely low prices, online users tend to assume that such accounts are not reliable. However, in the author’s opinion, it is simply a matter of not having encountered a truly secure and reliable channel.

Here is my translation of the Chinese text to English, following the provided guidelines:

So it is essential to find the real top-level managers to make the purchase. The author obtained it through the edu official website purchase platform, which is also the longest-running education disk platform in the industry. The administrators are from an educational institution. After purchasing, you can directly join the Education Edition cloud disk teacher communication WeChat group.

Common Questions

Here is my translation following the guidelines provided:

1. Why can’t I sign out of iCloud individually, how do I sign out of iCloud individually?

If you are unable to log out of iCloud individually, it might be due to a system setting issue. Don’t worry, first log out of everything, and after entering your password for verification, you will find that both your iCloud and App Store accounts have been logged out. At this point, return to the desktop, click on the App Store app, and click on the top right corner to log into your App Store account individually (of course, it will be your original account). After logging in, go back to Settings, and you will notice that you are only logged into the App Store and not iCloud. Now you can log into an iCloud account different from the App Store account (there will be a prompt, choose the option “Not ‘XXX'”).

Here is my translation following the given guidelines:

2. After logging into the account, XXX cannot be used, what should be done?

First, confirm that the App Store account you’re logged in with is your own account. If it is indeed unavailable, then it is an official restriction from Apple, which cannot be resolved. You can refer to Apple’s official instructions for this account at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205918.

Here is my translation following the given guidelines:

3. Does the administrator have permission to view my files?

Here is my translation following the given guidelines:

Due to Apple’s privacy protection principles, administrators are unable to access files, but they do have the authority to delete accounts. However, our accounts are obtained in bulk from channel providers, making it impossible to trace purchase information. It is even more impractical for us to delete accounts on a large scale. Therefore, we absolutely cannot perform operations such as deleting individual accounts.

Here is my translation following the guidelines:

4. Is it really permanent, or will it fail?

Here is my translation following the provided guidelines:

This account is from a newly created teacher account at the school. The agreement signed between the school and Apple promises permanent use for teachers, so there is no legal risk of “identity fraud.” At the same time, we will control the number of registered teachers at each school to maintain the security of the entire domain. P.S. As of now, there are no cases of accounts being deactivated across the entire network.

5. What should I do if I encounter login issues on Mac?

Here is my translation following the provided guidelines:

Due to a bug on Mac, you need to first log in to the icloud.com website on Mac’s Safari using the account I provided, and then log in within the iCloud settings. If there are still issues, you can consult further.

Here is my translation following the guidelines:

6. Is it possible to expand the storage capacity to my iCloud account?

Here is my translation following the guidelines provided:

Since Apple’s education discount is exclusive to educational institutions, the account attributes are different. Your personal iCloud account is a free account without any organizational attributes. You can only expand the storage capacity through Apple’s official renewal method by purchasing additional capacity on a monthly basis.
