Can we all use the upgraded space, if a single user pays for a plan?

We have a group. One person decided to pay for an upgrade--single user, so now has 2 TB's. The rest of us still use the free account. Does that benefit the rest of us who share group files with her?

    No, it doesn't.

     

     

    If she has shared a folder that exceeds the available space in the other accounts, those other account won't be able to access it.
