Start or stop sharing with your family

To let others use your Google One storage space, try Google One family sharing. All members of a Google One family plan see how much shared storage they use. Your files aren't shared with the rest of your family and can't be viewed without your permission.
How family sharing works with Google One

The person who shares their storage is called the Google One plan manager. This person can start or stop sharing their Google One family plan at any time. You can share Google One with up to 5 family members.

Your account, alanjshea@gmail.com, is the manager of a family on Google. Learn how to manage your family on Google.

There are two kinds of storage space: personal storage space and shared storage space.

Each member of the family group gets 15gb of personal storage space for their files. A family member’s files fill up his or her personal space first.
There is also shared storage that's split between everyone in your family group. After a family member's personal storage gets filled up, their files count toward the shared storage space. Family members can use as much of this available storage as they want.
Your files won’t be shown to others in your family unless you share them directly.
When you make a family group, extra benefits are shown to everyone in your family, except accounts managed by parents. Some benefits go to the first family member who claims them.
