I'm trying to get the most space possible out of my iDisk, and since my family account only has 2 usernames activated, I'd like to transfer the unused space we bought to the master account (my account). Since that's 2 unused family accounts, that'd be around 10 gb in total. Is this possible? Also, once I do this, could I upgrade my own account on top of this?

You can't allocate that space to another account, but can utilize it otherwise. You can create accounts to fill out the family pack, then just use those for deep storage, as you'll have to log in to them in OS X to gain access. You can use your primary for daily use, then log out and log in to the deep storage accounts to back up other data manually. It's probably the closest thing to what you're after.

Yeah, after searching around for a few days I was afraid of this! Not exactly like how I wanted it to be set up but oh well, the space will be used either way - thanks for your help!
