Just got a refund for my iCloud storage and checked and only have 2TB now... when I try to buy more it tells me I have to stop sharing with family so looks like Apples stopped that trick... I really need 4TB... anyone know of any other tricks?
 
are you the organizer on the family plan? there's option on my apple one plan to add 2tb on top of the shared 2tb that comes on the premier apple one plan. you can stack them and have 4tb total.

Yeah I did that but my data has gone back to 2TB and it won’t let me stack it again.. and it’s showing a different prompt than before..?

Says i’m already sharing storage and I have to leave family to buy it.

sounds like you aren't the organizer then if that's the case
 
I am it’s been working fine since they allowed it and suddenly I had a -2.30 refund for icloud storage and now I can’t reset it up to do 4Tb it tell new I have to stop sharing with family to buy new storage and when I buy storage I can rejoin family

I can’t get to that page unless I leave household, but i’m doing from my main account - just not working lol
 
If you get premier Apple one you’ll get another 2 TB. I know this because when I go to add storage it shows it as it on top of my existing 2 TB
 
Managed to fix it had to cancel my entire plan and rebuy and seemed to fix it - no idea why this happened my payments went out ok lol

I didn’t even know you could buy a plan twice to add data. Is there a limit on how many times you can buy it?

So all u did was, as family organizer, cancelled your apple one premier plan. Then immediately resubscribed to that same plan, and then when you when to the buy more storage option for iCloud it had the option to add up to another 2tb?

I’m having the issue where I can’t add more icloud storage past what apple one gives me.
