iCloud storage upgrade and Family Sharing

If I purchased 50GB iCloud storage on my Apple ID, and then invite (and accept) members of my family into my Family Sharing, are they automatically set up to begin using the same 50GB iCloud plan?

iPad, iOS 9

iCloud+ or Apple One Subscription to get extra storage in Family Sharing? Ok, I'm sure this answer is somewhere in the community. Had a look through a few posts but didn't find exactly what I would like know. Firstly, Apple can you please offer a 1TB storage plan pretty please 🙏🏼 I have an iCloud+ storage plan with 200GB. I would like to share that with another family member. I know that they then have access to the 200GB. However 200GB is not quite enough, and having to upgrade to 2TB is way too much. I would like that family to purchase either a 50GB or 200GB plan and share that with the family group so we can have 250GB or 400GB to share. Is this possible at all? If it is possible can it be done using iCloud+ Or do we have Apple One as the starting plan? If anyone can shed some light on my dilemma that'd be great.

If you start sharing it and they're on a free 5GB plan, yes.

If you start sharing it and they're on a paid plan, they'll be given the option of joining yours.
