I STARTED A FAMILY PLAN AND I ADDED A LARGE FOLDER THAT IS UPDATED WEEKLY IF NOT DAILY. ONLY TWO OF THE MEMBERS NEED THE ABILITY TO EDIT THE FOLDER BUT I CAN NOT FIND WHERE TO ADJUST FAMILY MEMBERS ACCESSIBILITY. THANKS

Hey @ROSSH32, thanks for taking the time to post your question today!

 

Are you referring to normal folders shared between the family members?

 

If so, you can change the permissions on the folders, by following the steps here.

 

When it comes to the Family Room folder though, edit access is the default.

 

You can read more about sharing files on a family plan here.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.
