Can I share my iCloud storage?

The icloud storage on our computer is full even though I used Family Share between my two phones. Can I share with my iCloud storage with our computer so it's storage isn't full? I don't use Mac computers.

iCloud storage is not on a device. Its on an Apple server and can be accessed by any device logged in to the Apple ID that has the storage.


If your computer is using the same Apple ID as the iPhones it should be able to access the iCloud Storage directly.

If your computer is using a different Apple ID than the iPhones, then you can use Family Sharing to share the iCloud storage.

If what is full, is the local storage on the computer, then then only way to make space is to move stuff off of the internal drive and onto an external drive.
