Family Sharing

What it is

Paid Archive storage shared with up to five other people.

Why it exists

In a family one storage plan, paid once, is enough, without anyone having to show their files to the others.

How it works for you

If you have paid storage, press “Invite someone” in the Store: you get a code valid for 7 days and usable once. Whoever receives it enters it in the Store with the name they want to be recognised by, and from then on uses the shared storage.

What you give

The storage you've already paid for, shared.

What you get

One subscription for everyone; each person with their own files, encrypted with their own keys.

What you choose

Who to invite and who to remove; if you're a member, when to leave.

Honest limits

The organiser sees the name each person chose and how much storage they use, never their files. If the organiser cancels, everyone returns to their own storage: all files stay, but beyond the storage limit new uploads stop. Anyone with their own storage larger than the family's keeps using their own.

Where it stands

In the system and verified by automated tests on the real server.
