iCloud "Family Sharing" loses shared Notes and iDrive. Any way to use this without losing shared features besides Apps?

We used to share a single App Store ID so we could see all our family devices, share iDrive space for backups, share App and music purchases, and share notes and reminders. We had separate IDs for iMessage. Now with "Family Share" we can do some of that but we lose shared reminders, notes and iDrive space. Why can't the iDrive space be family based? We also need shared spaces for notes, reminders, and such. I feel we are being forced to move to "Family Share" with the new features where you can move work from device to device and that would not work well with multiple people using the same account.

If you previously had the same iCloud account on all devices and now have different ones on each you might just need to share the calendars, notes and reminders with the other family members iCloud accounts.


If everyone had been using dad@icloud.com and now they have started using mom@icloud.com and kid@icloud.com you could add the dad@iCloud.com account on each device and only turn on Notes and Reminders.
