iOS 11 brought with it, in addition to bugs, several really useful features. One of them is the ability to share purchased storage on iCloudus with other users, specifically with people added to the family. However, to activate sharing, you need to meet the conditions, which we will clarify in today's article and also show you how to set up the function and what benefits it brings.
Thanks to the new sharing option, there is no need to purchase and pay separately for all users in the family storage on iCloudu, but you simply divide your available gigabytes among other members. Thanks to this, you will not only save money, but also you will not receive several notifications about the payment made every month and only one amount will be debited from your payment/credit card. There can be up to 6 members in a family, which represented up to 72 payments per year. However, with active sharing, the number of payments is reduced to only 12, which may be welcome for many.

Conditions
However, for the possibility of activating shared iCloud storage, two conditions must be met. The first is that with its iCloud You must be part of Family Sharing with your account and specifically you must be its administrator. You can learn how to activate Family Sharing, for example here. The second, more important condition is that you must have an active tariff of 200 GB for 79 CZK per month or a higher 2 TB for 249 CZK, because the smallest tariff of 50 GB for 25 CZK cannot be divided among the family. If you do not use any of the supported tariffs, then you can activate it in Settings -> [Your name] -> iCloud -> Manage storage -> Alter rate storage.

A family member who is already on a plan can choose to stay on their plan or start using shared storage. Everyone else who was using the basic 5GB free will automatically upgrade to Family Sharing, which of course gives them significantly more space.

To be honest, there is one thing, 5GB is more than enough for me, I only use it for backups, but it would be fair if apple gave 5gb to each device. I use that iphone and an iPad on one apple respect, but I still only have 5gb.
You must be crying over the wrong grave here.
I really don't expect that. lsa solve it :-)
so pay extra 0,99e and you won't have 5GB :)
