Transferring data between iCloud+ accounts

Hi struggling with a change. My partner has Apple one which includes 1TB of data and set up to be used by family. I previously had iCloud+. How do I transfer the data to Apple one and stop the individual iCloud+ ? Thanks

You both need to be part of a Family Sharing group. Read Set up Family Sharing


Once one of you has set it up the other needs to be invited to join the Family Sharing group. Read the section "Join a family group" in the article "Set up Family Sharing". This link will take you straight there --> https://support.apple.com/HT201088#join


The person being invited needs to:

1. Open the Settings app, then tap your name.

2. Tap Invitations.

3. Follow the onscreen instructions.


After that the process should be fairly automatic.

From https://support.apple.com/108783

"If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud+ plan, they can choose to switch to your plan or keep their own and still remain part of the family. When they switch to the shared family plan, they get a refund for the remainder of their personal plan. They can't keep their current plan and use the shared family plan at the same time."




If you're in a Family Sharing group, click here and follow the instructions. It can't be shared outside of one.
