To share your existing iCloud+ storage with family members, follow these steps:

2. **Tap on Your Name:** In the settings, tap on your name at the top of the screen to access your Apple ID settings.


3. **Family Sharing:** Select "Family Sharing" from the list of options.


4. **iCloud Storage:** Tap on "iCloud Storage" or "iCloud Storage & Backup," depending on your iOS version.


5. **Share with Family:** Under the "Share with Family" section, you should see your iCloud+ storage plan. Tap on it.


6. **Invite Family Members:** You'll see a list of family members who are part of your Family Sharing group. To share the storage with a family member, tap on their name and select "Share Storage." You can repeat this step for each family member you want to share the storage with.


7. **Confirm Sharing:** A confirmation message will appear, indicating that the storage has been shared with the selected family members.


Once you've completed these steps, your iCloud+ storage will be shared with the family members you've invited, and they'll have access to the additional storage space.
