My daughter pays for my storage why is it full

Why is Apple trying to charge me for storage when I am in family sharing where my daughter pays 17.99 a month for 5 family members???

What storage is full specifically? There are 2 types of storage. iCloud Storage and Device Storage.


Your daughter may be paying for iCloud Storage, but that has no effect on your iOS device's local storage capacity at all.


If your device is low on storage you need to delete items from the device directly.


You can check which storage is low, by going to Settings ➜ Account (top of Settings) ➜ iCloud ➜ Manage Storage, and Settings ➜ General ➜ iPhone / iPad Storage.

In addition to Phil0124’s questions, I am really perplexed by this charge you mentioned.

As you can see in this article, there is no country or region that charges this price for iCloud storage.
iCloud+ plans and pricing - Apple Support

Good catch. Can't really find any cloud based storage for that price. Closest I can see is Dropbox for Family at $16.99 in the U.S. May be different in another country.
