Do I loose data in my personal iCloud+ storage when I join the iCloud Family sharing storage?

No. When you join a shared iCloud storage plan, your storage continues to be accessed using your own Apple ID and password. The only change is the amount of storage available and the payment.

It isn't really "moved." It's still under your own Apple ID as it always was and you will still be able to access it the same way you always did. The only difference that you'll notice is that the amount of storage available to you will be larger.


All of your current data will be available to you as always.
