I'm looking to upgrade the 2 TB icloud family storage plan say 4TB. But I get the following message "STOP USING FAMILY STORAGE..... When you change your storage plan, you will stop using the family storage plan. what does this mean?

I am provided two possible next steps push buttons. Cancel or Stop Using Family Storage.

I would like to continue Family storage only with more storage say 6 TB. How do I do that?

Switch from your personal iCloud+ plan to your family plan

When you share iCloud+, any family members using the free 5GB plan are added to your family plan automatically.

If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud+ plan, they can choose to switch to your plan or keep their own and still remain part of the family.

When they switch to the shared family plan, they get a refund for the remainder of their personal plan. They can't keep their current plan and use the shared family plan at the same time.

It’s ok it’ll just cancel the current family plan to change to the bigger amount. You might have to make sure family automatically sees the larger storage, if they don’t they just need to follow the directions below on that same page to make sure they’re using it.


let me know if that helped!
