How does iCloud+ work with Apple One family sharing?

First - could someone explain how does iCloud+ work when you have a family sharing Apple One, plus your own iCloud+ subscription? I find it really confusing.

Hi,

If your iCloud+ storage is less than the Apple One iCloud storage it will be cancelled and you only use the one from Apple One.

IF your iCloud+ is equal to the one offered by Apple One it will remian through the free trial for Apple One and then be cancelled.

If your icloud+ is more than the one from Apple One then you can choose to keep it and use both storages together.

Second question - could I keep the iCloud+ from Apple One for myself while sharing everything else?

If you are the family organiser sharing Apple One, you cannot pick and choose which storage you share if you have both iCloud+ storages active. There is no storage separatiuon between the Apple One and personal iCloud+, it's all added up together. You also cannot choose in what storage files or data reside sicne it's all added up.

If you are just a family member then you don't have to share your personal storage.

Do note, others don't have access to your files or data. you are just sharing storage space but each person keeps their private data and files private and separate from the rest.
