    I just set up our family sharing, and separated all of our apple id's out.  They are both on my family sharing, but my daughter's phone is showing only 5 GB of storage on the iCloud backup.  How do I get her to share my 200GB?

     

    Thanks,

    Mark

    You'd have to sign in with your Apple ID.
