How does Google One family sharing work?
A Google One plan can be shared with up to five other people in your Google family. Everyone keeps their own account and files; what they share is the storage pool and the plan’s extra benefits.
Shared storage is first come, first served, so one person backing up every photo can fill it for everyone. Check the plan’s current terms in your country, and agree how the space is used before you split it.

Who can you share Google One with?
Up to five people in your Google family. The family manager invites them, and each accepts with their own account.
Only share a plan whose terms cover the people you add. Google families are meant for family, each person can belong to one family at a time, and Google limits how often someone can switch.
The people on the plan, the manager included, are the seats in the room.
How is the storage shared?
Everyone draws from one pool. Nobody can see anyone else’s files; they only see how much space each person uses.
Agree a fair use before anyone joins, for example “keep your photos under a quarter of the plan”, and write it in “What’s included” on the room so members see it before they take a seat.
What happens when someone leaves?
The manager removes them from the family. Their files stay in their own account, but above the free storage they need a plan of their own to keep adding more.
On NeverSub they leave the room or the host removes them, and the seat opens again for someone else.
