Confused about storage

Question

Hi bit of a noob to storage I've always used icloud and apple for my storage however i've always been aware im exporting In Jpeg and i could lose all my raw files on a external hd which is exactly whats happend (recovery is under way with disk drill and im a very lucky boy)

so im looking for a storage solution. and why not go with adobe.

Im paying £9.99 a month for LRC LR and PS but im confused, and this is why ive never used LR to upload my raw files.

I have 20gb of storage and have very few files on Lr because of this as I said I have apple icloud with 4tb and I have used 3.22Tb

the failing hard drive has 3.5Tb of data most of it is my RAW files.

Why when if you look at the images do i have a 10tB plane but i can only store 20gb of images on LR whats the other 9.8Tb for and how do i get my raws safe once i have recoverd them Im open to ther solutions

any help appreciated

Hey, @craig.lonie. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out.

I reviewed the account you signed into the community and found an active subscription with 20GB of cloud storage.

Please check if you've signed in to the Manage Plan page using a different email account than the one you used to log in to Community. We can help you find the right account.
