Can we share cloud storage between American Apple ID and Japanese Apple ID? We are living together in US
Probably not. What matters is the country where the Apple ID was created, not the country setting on the phone. It is iCloud that you want to share, which is independent of any physical device. You can have an iCloud account even if you have no Apple products.
You could always contact Apple support and see if there is anyway they can help you transition your AppleID and iCloud account to the USA now that you’re living there. Contact the AppleID support team and explain that you’ve moved from Japan to the USA and you’re specifically trying to transition your AppleID and iCloud account for use with Family and iCloud storage sharing in the USA. See what they can do to help you out.
I chat with Apple support and they said we can share iCloud as a family.
Thank you!!
No. Family sharing requires all members of the family be in the same country (or region where that applies)
Thank you, Michael.
I set ‘ country ‘ US, does it work or not?
I don’t know, I’ve never tried setting my account to a country I’m not in. Try it and see?
I will try. I’m living in US, so it should work??
Thank you!!
My husband wanted share his iCloud ‘ family share ‘, but if I have Apple ID which I made in Japan, I can’t be recognized as his ‘ family ‘ ?
I’m sorry I don’t know anything about this.
Glad they were able to work it out for you. Makes sense there has to be a way as people do move!
Thank you again for helping me today!!
