Microsoft is updating its Microsoft 365 Family and Premium subscriptions to allow all family members to share AI benefits. Previously, only the primary account holder could access Copilot and other AI features. Now, up to five people on a plan can use these tools alongside Office apps and OneDrive storage. In an email seen by The Verge, Microsoft outlined that these changes are coming over the coming months.<\/p>\n

However, family members will no longer receive 1TB of OneDrive storage per account. Instead, they will share a single 2TB pool across the entire plan. While Microsoft states this makes storage more flexible if one member exceeds their limit, critics note it appears to be an upsell strategy. Existing subscribers in eligible markets might qualify for transitional bonus storage, and support is planned for families using significant amounts of space.<\/p>\n

These updates are being announced a year after Microsoft 365 Premium launched. That plan offers Copilot Pro benefits along with Family subscription perks for $19.99 a month. The new "more flexible AI usage" feature could mean some subscribers pay more depending on how they use Copilot.<\/p>\n
