Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Hi,
In case if we have multiple apple ID for multiple devices can we link those to single iCloud storage account. Additionally, within that iCloud is there a way to keep the data still separate for both accounts.
Thanks.
Hi,
I would recommend setting up Family Sharing on the primary users Apple ID. The primary user, or “Organizer” of the Family Sharing is required to have a valid payment method on file with their Apple ID, and also has to be the one to share the iCloud+ renewal with all the other family members.
This means they will be the one paying for the iCloud+ storage plan each month.

Once the Organizer has been decided, up to 5 other members can be added to your Family Sharing.
To start sharing iCloud+ Storage with your family, on the Organizers device, go to Settings > Name > iCloud > Manage Storage > Change Storage Plan > select the preferred plan to continue:

Once purchased, iCloud+ is shared with your Family.
This means every member will contribute to the available storage in iCloud, but all data backed up and stored will be separated per Apple ID.
iCloud data can only be accessed by the Apple ID user it is tied to, either via device Settings or online at iCloud.com.

"With Family Sharing, you can share a subscription to iCloud+ with everyone in your family group. This includes 50GB, 200GB, or 2TB of iCloud storage as well as features like iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video support" Click on this link to learn how to 'Share an iCloud storage plan with your family' --> https://support.apple.com/HT208147
Each Apple ID's content is isolated from the others even though you share the same common space.
