About Microsoft 365 Family

Microsoft 365 Family ($12.99/mo or $99.99/yr) covers up to 6 people with Office apps and 1 TB OneDrive each. Only the organizer can cancel; family members lose access the moment the plan ends.

Refunds & billing

Same as Microsoft 365 Personal — 30-day full refund on annual renewals, pro-rated after, monthly non-refundable. You can move to Personal instead of cancelling outright to keep 1 TB for the organizer.

Common problems & troubleshooting

  • •Family member still being billed — they're on their own personal plan, not the family one.
  • •Can't cancel because you're not the organizer — only the person who paid can.
  • •Cancelled but family still sees 'Premium' for weeks — it expires at the end of the paid period.

Microsoft 365 Family FAQ

What happens to other family members when I cancel?

Everyone loses access on the same day the plan expires. They keep their OneDrive files for 30 days, then anything above 5 GB becomes read-only.

Can I downgrade to Personal instead?

Yes — on account.microsoft.com choose 'Switch plans' and pick Microsoft 365 Personal. You keep 1 TB for yourself; family members lose access.

Is there a refund if a family member never used it?

Microsoft won't pro-rate per-seat. You either get the full annual refund (within 30 days) or a partial refund based on remaining time.

How do I contact customer support?

account.microsoft.com → Help. 1-800-642-7676 (US).

What are the best alternatives?

Top alternatives our editors recommend: Google Workspace Individual; Apple One Family; iCloud+ 2 TB Family ($9.99).
