I am paying for Apple One for my family. I am also paying separately for 2TB of storage. Am I double paying?

You’re paying for a shared storage pool with Apple One, and separately for 2 TB for your own use.


Whether the shared storage pool and your own “private” 2 TB storage is necessary is something you’ll have to decide, based on the size of the Apple One pool and the total storage usage across the shared and the private pool.


If your usage fits within the Apple One pool, then your 2 TB purchase is unnecessary. If the aggregate usage wouldn’t fit…


Share an iCloud storage plan with your family - Apple Support — in that, see If you already had an iCloud storage plan for a discussion of what you are asking about.
