I believe that many users have encountered the same problems as the cases we listed above. For most users, although iCloud is an easy and convenient tool for backing up iPhone content such as contacts and photos, it can get complicated and annoying when you want to transfer data from one iCloud account to another.

Since iCloud does not provide an option to merge two Apple ID data, many users are looking for a shortcut. How do you transfer files between Apple ID accounts? Can you transfer iCloud data from one account to another? The answer is yes. With the help of the following 2 ways, you can transfer iCloud content from one Apple ID to another.

Solution 1: Transfer iCloud to New Apple ID via "Merge" [iPhone & iPad]

On the phone, you can choose to turn off the iCloud sync option to choose to save iCloud data on your device. You can use this feature to achieve your goals.

Step 1: Open "Settings" on your iPhone and tap the bar that says your profile.

Step 2: Scroll down and tap "Sign Out" to log out of your original Apple ID. After that, you'll be asked to enter your Apple ID password, then tap "Turn off" in the upper right corner.

Step 3: Now, choose which copy of the data you want to keep on your iPhone by turning on the switch next to it. Then, tap "Sign Out" in the upper right corner of the screen. After that, select the logout option in the pop-up window and wait for the logout to complete.

Step 2: Choose Contacts, Calendar or other options (Here we choose Photos.)

Step 3: Select all data and download and save the files to your PC using the "Download" icon at the top of the page.
