Family billing and the launch offer

#Who pays

The manager's plan pays for everything:

• the family storage is the manager's storage;

• members get the features of the manager's plan;

• the Family Room is billed to the manager.

Joining a family never cancels a member's own subscription: it keeps running, and its space is used first.

#Which plans include Drime Family

You can create a family with:

• a Lifetime plan of 3 TB or more;

• Professional or Advanced, through the launch offer, for 30 days from October 19, 2026.

A dedicated Family plan will follow. Anyone, on any plan, can join a family by invitation.

#The launch offer

On Professional and Advanced, during the launch offer:

• a Drime Family is here. banner at the top of your Drive shows the days left and Activate Drime Family;

• a Launch offer note on the family page says until when you can activate it.

To activate it, see Create a family.

After the launch offer, a family activated during it keeps running as long as its manager stays on Professional or Advanced. Nobody new can activate Drime Family that way.

#When the family is paused

If the manager's plan no longer includes Drime Family, the family is paused. The console shows Your family is paused:

• nothing is deleted;

• everyone is back on their own storage;

• inviting, joining and creating the Family Room stop;

• everything comes back with the plan.

This can happen when the manager changes plan, or when the family is handed over to someone whose plan does not include it.

#Purchases in a child's account

A child's account with the Purchases through you parental control cannot buy plans: its billing page says that purchases go through the manager. See Parental controls.
