I have a 50GB plan that is almost used up. My wife has a Apple One plan 200GB that she shared with our family (including me), but my phone only syncs to my 50GB plan.
If I cancel my 50GB plan, data would still be available for 30 days. Would the data automatically transfer to a new plan, e.g. my wife’s Apple One plan? Or what happens when she cancels her Apple One plan and I start a new one? Would her data transfer over to the one I would buy and share?
Documentation on this is not clear, and I don’t want to lose my data.
If anything I would expect it to show as 250GB for you. At one point my wife had signed up for the 200GB family plan but still had an active 200GB personal plan that she shared as well, so it showed as 400GB available.

For some reason it doesn’t. Also, our kids are still on my 50GB plan I initially shared with them, but would be able to switch over to my wife‘s plan now. I just don’t know, whether their data (especially photos) would seamlessly transfer over?
Looks like my wife didn’t have the sharing checkbox for iCloud storage selected — which is distinct from the Apple One Abonnement which includes the storage. Oh well, looks fine now. And the data didn’t get lost.
Glad its all sorted out now!
