How to move current 50gb iCloud storage from multiple individual family members into (1) 200gb account?

I have 3 family members and we all have individual 50gb ICloud storage accounts. How do I migrate each of these accounts and their respective stored items into a singular 200gb ICloud

family account?

See the information in Share an iCloud storage plan with your family - Apple Support including the following:

If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud storage plan, they can choose to switch to your plan or keep their own and still remain part of the family. When they switch to the shared family plan, they get a refund for the remainder of their personal plan. They can't keep their current plan and use the shared family plan at the same time.


Follow these steps to switch to the shared family plan on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

  1. Go to Settings > [your name].
  2. Tap Family Sharing, then tap iCloud Storage.
  3. Tap Use Family Storage. 


Be aware that their data stays where it is and continues to be accessed via their own Apple ID. It is a change in billing and amount of storage available.

Someone has to become the organizer and set up family sharing, and subscribe to a 200Gb or 2TB iCloud storage plan. Then they invite the others to share that iCloud plan and the move of each persons data to the shared storage is automatic, as is the cancellation of their own personal subscription plan.
