# Can I share my iCloud storage with my family?

Yes, on iCloud+ plans that support it, through **Family Sharing**. Each person keeps their own private iCloud — family members share the **space**, not each other's photos or files. Set it up in **System Settings → Family**, then share iCloud+ from there.

Everyone draws from the same pool, so one member's photos or backups can fill it for all. The storage list in iCloud settings shows how much each person uses.
