My husband and I are set up under family sharing but I don’t have access to his iCloud+ ? What do I need to do?

It shows iCloud+ under his family tab but when I click on it it wants me to upload and buy room instead of using his available room.

Make sure everything is set up correctly.

Share iCloud+ with your family - Apple Support


Here's a list of standard things to try when a feature is not working:


Make sure the software is up to date on all devices involved.

Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Sometimes it helps to have the devices involved take a fresh look at settings:

● If this is a service, try disabling it and turning it back on.

● Try signing out of accounts and back in again.

Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support

If you have more than one Apple ID, don't forget you may be signed into other accounts too for special services such as iMessage and Media & Purchases.

● Restarting is a simple step that can resolve many unexpected behaviors.

iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support then choose your model.

iPad: Restart your iPad - Apple Support

Try using other equipment if possible. I have seen several cases where somebody tried to do something on one item of equipment and failed, but then tried on a different item of equipment and succeeded.


Sometimes it can take some time for changes to propagate through the system and waiting may help ( e.g., https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254632281?answerId=258650468022#258650468022 ). If a problem persists, particularly over several days, try contacting Apple for assistance:
