icloud storage

I am already in a Family icloud storage scheme of 200 gb . This storage is almost. full.

so i could. actually increase my storage space by paying. a little more ,but my son already has a bigger storage plan with apple of 2TB and he does not use all and he has asked me to join his Family sharing i cloud storage plan. So when he sent me the invitation and i clicked to join _it is telling me

"you are already in another. family" - you can be in only one family at a time. To join this family , you need to leave your current family first"


so my question is how do i do it without losing my storage of the first family


thanks mushtakali

You can't. You need to work out in which family group you want to be a member. It's one or the other.


If you are the organiser of your current family group you would need to disband that group to join your son's. It sounds simpler just to upgrade to the 2TB storage plan for your current family group for a small additional monthly fee - and everyone in it can use the space too.
