Can I share iCloud space with a family member for backup of their iPhone?

If I have 2 TB of iCloud space, can I share space with a family member? If so how is that set up?

You can share iCloud+ storage with up to 5 other people if you have 200 GB or 2 TB plans by setting up Family Sharing.

Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Family Sharing. If you already have Family Sharing set up, click Add Member to share a link to someone to join your Family Sharing plan. If you haven't already set up Family Sharing, tap Set Up Your Family.


If this person is already in your family, scroll down and find iCloud+ to choose to share your subscription with your family. If you have other In-App Subscriptions or Apple subscriptions, you can choose to share those with your family as well.
