Family sharing; only storage?
With icloud family sharing, I would only like to allow family to use storage, but nothing else - no Apps, no Apple TV, no books; nothing. Is this possible? Thank you.

There are options for what you want to share. See the following from Set up Family Sharing on Mac - Apple Support
Do any of the following:
- Set up location sharing: Select Location Sharing in the sidebar, then click Learn More to learn how to set up location sharing on all your Apple devices. You can set up location sharing so that all family members can view each other’s locations in the Find My and Messages apps. You can use the Find My app on your Mac, iOS, and iPadOS devices, and on iCloud.com.
- Set up purchase sharing: Select Purchase Sharing in the sidebar. If you already have a payment method set up, click Set up Purchase Sharing. If not, click Add Payment Method, then follow the onscreen instructions. Your family can share purchases from the iTunes Store, the App Store, and Apple Books so everyone has access to them. All purchases are made through the shared payment method you set up. You can change the account used to make purchases and decline to share your purchases with family members.
- Share or upgrade iCloud storage: Select iCloud Storage in the sidebar, then either share your existing iCloud Storage plan, or upgrade to a plan you can share with the Family. Family members can share the plan with you or keep their own individual storage plans.
- Set up Ask To Buy: Click Ask To Buy in the sidebar, then click Turn on Ask to Buy. This setting requires children in your family sharing group to get your approval to download or purchase items from the App Store, iTunes Store, or Apple Books.
- Set up Screen Time and parental controls: Select Screen Time in the sidebar, click Open Screen Time Settings, then select the options you want.
- Find subscription services to share: Select Apple Subscriptions in the sidebar, then click Learn More next to a service you want to purchase. Or, browse the App Store to find other eligible subscriptions.
