When you share iCloud with your family, are your documents, private from the other family members?

If I share iCloud+ with my other family members, does each member have to have their own password and login to see their data or can anyone in the family see everyone else's data.

iMac 27″, macOS 13.1

Hi Gary,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities! When sharing an iCloud+ plan with your family, everyone's data is private and attached to each individual account. You may find the information below useful from the article Share iCloud+ with your family.

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.

Hope that helps!
