Microsoft Expands AI Benefits Sharing in Microsoft 365 Family Subscriptions
Microsoft announced that subscribers to its Microsoft 365 Family and Premium plans will soon be able to share Copilot and other AI features among all members of the plan. Previously, only primary account holders had access to these benefits. The update also includes a shift in how AI usage is managed—moving from individual limits to a shared allowance that can be adjusted as needed. However, there are notable changes affecting storage capacity. Instead of 1TB per user, Microsoft will now offer a total of 2TB of OneDrive cloud storage for the entire plan. This change could impact heavy users who may need to purchase additional space. The update is set to take effect after subscribers' first renewal following May 2nd, 2027. The changes come one year after Microsoft introduced its Premium subscription at $19.99 per month, which combines Copilot Pro and Family benefits.
