Icloud Family Storage Not Using
Familymember cannot access myiCloudstorage. I paid for the 200GBiCloudstorageplan so that we would never have to see the “cloudstoragefull” message. However, although my mother has subscribed the sharediCloudstorageplan, it shows that she is the “notusing” person.
A3: Confirm that you have an eligibleiCloudstorageplan and that you've set upFamilySharing foriCloudstorage. Ensure allfamilymembers areusingcompatible devices and are signed in with their Apple IDs. When I look at her up in FamilySharing on her device, iCloudStorage is not listed.
I can also see the she apparently isusinga 5gb freestorageplan. This includes up to 12 TB ofiCloudstorage, as well as features likeiCloudPrivate Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video support. When you share aniCloud+ subscription, everyone in theFamilySharing groupusestheir own Apple Account on their device.
Coming to the most important question, how do I shareiCloudstoragewithfamily? Luckily, you don’t have to go through any tech-savvy procedure to share youriCloudstorage. The steps are almost similar regardless of the iOS/iPadOS version you’reusing. You canuseiCloud'sFamilySharing feature for just this purpose.
AFamilySharing group can share either the 200 GB or 2 TBstorageplan while keeping all their own files and photos separate and private.

FamilySharing is easy to set up and lets up to six people share access to Apple Music, Apple TV+,iCloud+, Apple Card, and more. At no extra cost. This feature is a fantastic cost saving option forfamiliesthatusemore than the free 5GB per month ofiCloudeach.
The higherstorageplan you subscribe to, the better deal you get overall. How muchstoragedo I need for myiCloudFamilySharing plan? I know of no way to configureiCloudstorageper user in aFamily. Most likely your son is limited to 5GB because he isusingthe 'free'iCloudstorageof 5GB.
He is either not signed intoiCloudor he is signed in under a different account than you have for him in yourFamilyShare.
