does family sharing help with storage

My iMac is out of iCloud storage, but I have Family Sharing on another device, and thought that would provide storage on all our family devices.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.6

Are you out of iCloud space? Or out of space on your computer?

If you have iCloud+, the storage in your plan will be shared by everyone in your family sharing group.

Family sharing is determined by Apple ID, not device. So, if your other device is using the same Apple ID, you don't have family sharing.
