Question about iCloud storage (feddit.de)

I have a 50GB plan that is almost used up. My wife has a Apple One plan 200GB that she shared with our family (including me), but my phone only syncs to my 50GB plan.

If I cancel my 50GB plan, data would still be available for 30 days. Would the data automatically transfer to a new plan, e.g. my wife’s Apple One plan? Or what happens when she cancels her Apple One plan and I start a new one? Would her data transfer over to the one I would buy and share?

Documentation on this is not clear, and I don’t want to lose my data.

Right, I can see how someone would not want to used the shared storage. Should give him the option to switch to the shared storage though. It has been a long time since we set this up for ourselves.

It’s all automatic in our experience. No need to do any switching. As long as the head of the family has shared storage with the family member, once they cancel their personal plan, the stuff stored on their drive will count against the family’s limit.
