I have a 50GB plan that is almost used up. My wife has a Apple One plan 200GB that she shared with our family (including me), but my phone only syncs to my 50GB plan.

If I cancel my 50GB plan, data would still be available for 30 days. Would the data automatically transfer to a new plan, e.g. my wife’s Apple One plan? Or what happens when she cancels her Apple One plan and I start a new one? Would her data transfer over to the one I would buy and share?

Documentation on this is not clear, and I don’t want to lose my data.

    For a person that isn’t the head of the family (in Apple’s eyes), they can either be in the family iCloud storage plan, or subscribe to their own plan and not be a part of the family’s storage. If the family wanted 250GB of storage, then the head of the family could add on a 50GB iCloud plan to their Apple One.

      Right, I can see how someone would not want to used the shared storage. Should give him the option to switch to the shared storage though. It has been a long time since we set this up for ourselves.
