I have upgraded iCloud storage that I use, I want to add other members of my family to my storage plan. One family member already has their own storage account, can I simply merge them over to my family share plan and cancel their Icloud storage plan? once they are all joined can everyone see everyone else's files? thanks
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.5
See the information and instructions in Share iCloud+ with your family - Apple Support including the following:
If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud+ 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.
and
When you share an iCloud+ subscription, everyone in the family group uses their own account. That way your photos, documents, and other information stay private, even though you're sharing access to the service. You simply share the features and space available in iCloud+ with your family members, so you only have one plan to manage.
