Can I share my iCloud storage with family

I purchased 50 Gig of storage on iCloud for my daughter going off to college.  I'm now wondering if other family members can all use that allotted space.  

Perhaps you should read these Apple documents about what is stored by iCloud.  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview:
Your iCloud account includes 5 GB of free storage for iCloud Mail, Documents in the Cloud, and your iOS device backups. Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your photo stream, don’t count against the 5 GB of free storage ........
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksPurchased music isn’t backed up in all countries. Purchased movies and TV shows are backed up only in the U.S. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore. Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. A movie’s product details page in the iTunes Store shows if the movie is unavailable.

    You will not want to do that and you should just have two 5GB free accounts.
    Too much risk of merging or losing data.

  • Can I share my iCloud storage with members in my Family Sharing group?

    Just wondering if I can share my 200GB with my husband and sons which are on our family sharing plan?  It seems like all these additional GB should be able to be shared if we are signed in to the same family plan?  I've searched support topics and can't seem to find an answer to this....thanks!

  • HT204053 can i purchase more iCloud storage with my iTunes gift card

    Can I purchase more iCloud storage with my iTunes gift card

    Provide the iTunes Store with a credit card number(iCloud storage upgrades are a subscription and not a one-time purchase), redeem the gift card if you haven't already done so, and get the upgrade. The credit card won't be charged if the unspent balance is large enough to pay for it.

  • HT5527 Can I share my iCloud folders with others? If so, how?

    Can I share my iCloud folders with others? If so, how?

    This is something for the Apple engineers to answer. I too would like the ability to share folders and/or individual files a la Dropbox.
    I've written about some of my complaints with the service so far on this discussion thread: Ways to make competitive with Dropbox

  • Can i share my iCloud calendar with others? If so, how?

    Can i share my iCloud calendar with others? If so, how?

    do you mean, the 'Publish' option? That only gives me two options 1 mobile me, which is now defunct. and 2 a private server, which I don't understand. thanks!
    sorry, after a further read, the comment was about icloud not ical. I don't have icloud because I don't have Lion because it doesn't work well with FCP7. So I don't know how to share my ical. Can you help?

  • Can I share my iCloud Photostream with someone else with a different Apple ID? How?

    Can I share my iCloud Photostream with someone else with a different Apple ID? How?

    Yeah no kidding.
    I have a big paid up MobileMe account with tons of gallery stuff - this will all go away for me in July, and I'll miss it - it took no learning to use, and it was built into everything - just intuitive to post to a gallery password protect it, and send a link to a friend.  Click click done!
    It bothers me a lot when features I really enjoy and use are pulled in these half baked new apps and services.
    iMovie used to be quite good, but the new one is very restrictive - it's a step backwards in some ways.
    MobileMe was fine, but iCloud takes away the Gallery???? - another step backward.
    We use some iPhones at work for shooting some videos and technical engineering photo's, and while it's pretty cool that the iPhone photo's get put on the photostream of "Jason's iMac", I don't have instant access, and I would really like to be able to do that. If it could be done, then I can stay at home and work sometimes and I can get the photo's automagically.  
    Apple - please fix this.

  • Want to share my iCloud storage with my spouse, Family Sharing?

    Wife has a maxed storage 4s can't upgrade to iO8.1.2.  We got iPhone 6 for each other, but she doesn't have icloud storage to get everything tranferred.  I have 200GB, and inititated Family Sharing.  Her storage plan has not changed from the default 5GB.  Wondering if there is something I have missed about sharing my storage, OR if I cannot do it even with Family Sharing

    Hey d2boogie,
    Congratulations on getting each other new iPhones and Family Sharing. Let's see if we can get things up and running for you both.
    Family Sharing does not share your iCloud storage space. What it does do is allow you to share content such as iTunes store purchases, a calendar, and a photo album. It also consolidates billing for iTunes, iBooks and App Store billing. See this article for a description -
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    In order to update your wife's older iPhone, I would suggest that you use the steps in this article -

    If you don't have an iCloud account or you just want to keep a backup on your computer, you can use iTunes to back up and transfer content on your device.
