My wife pays for the 200Gb iCloud upgrade. How do I take advantage of that? We have a Mac-mini and two iphones. Will we share her 200Gb drive, or do we get 200GB for each device? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Steve P.

You can set up Family Sharing, and invite each of your Apple IDs to it to access iCloud storage.

You will be sharing the same 200GB space.

Though files and data will remain separate and private.

You won't see each others files. The Family Organizer can see the storage space being used by other members, but not the files that use it.
