如何设置Google Family共享您的Google服务

If you pay for a book on Google Play Books, your significant other should be able to read it, too. The same goes for movies, music, and even apps or games—if you make a purchase, everyone in the family should be able to enjoy it. Thanks to Google Family, they can.

如果您在Google Play图书上购买了一本书，那么您的其他重要读者也应该也可以阅读。 电影，音乐，甚至应用程序或游戏也是如此—如果您购买了产品，家庭中的每个人都应该可以享受。 感谢Google Family，他们可以。

什么是Google Family？ (What Is Google Family?)

Google Family lets families to share content across their Google Play accounts. You can have up to six accounts in your Family, with two primary types of accounts available within the Family. There are family managers—generally the parents—and then limited “Member” accounts, which are usually the children (or anyone else you don’t want to allow full access).

Google Family使家人可以在其Google Play帐户中共享内容。 您的家庭中最多可以有六个帐户，家庭中可以使用两种主要类型的帐户。 有家庭管理人员(通常是父母)，然后是有限的“会员”帐户，通常是孩子(或您不想允许其完全访问权限的任何其他人)。

With Google Family, anyone in the family can buy content—books, movies, games, apps, music, and the like—and then other people in your family have access to it. Each person, of course, has granular control over how their content gets shared: you can have your content shared automatically as soon as you buy it, or pick and choose manually.

使用Google家族，家族中的任何人都可以购买内容，包括书籍，电影，游戏，应用程序，音乐等，然后您家族中的其他人都可以访问它。 当然，每个人都可以对其内容的共享方式进行精细控制：您可以在购买内容后立即自动共享您的内容，也可以手动选择。

Note: App and game developers have to allow their apps to be shared in the Family Library, so sharing isn’t available for every purchase.

注意：应用程序和游戏开发人员必须允许其应用程序在家庭库中共享，因此并非每次购买都可以共享。

If you subscribe to certain Google Services, like YouTube Red, YouTube TV, or Google Play Music’s Family Plan, you can also share those subscriptions with your family (though the latter requires a family plan). It’s pretty all-encompassing when it comes to sharing content with your loved ones—Google Calendar and Keep also both make it easy to share specific things with the people in your family. Google Family is also required to use Google’s Family Link app to make your child’s Android device just a bit safer.

如果您订阅了某些Google服务，例如YouTube Red ， YouTube TV或Google Play音乐的家庭计划 ，则还可以与家人共享这些订阅(尽管后者需要家庭计划)。 与亲人共享内容时，这是无所不包的-Google日历和Keep都使与家人共享特定内容变得容易。 还要求Google Family使用Google的Family Link应用程序使您孩子的Android设备更安全一些。

The account manager chooses a shared payment method that everyone in the family has access to, but fret not—members don’t just get blanket access to use the card (unless you set it up that way). You pick and choose what each person in the Family gets access to, be that requiring approval for all paid content, only in-app purchases, or no content at all.

客户经理选择家庭中每个人都可以使用的共享付款方式，但不必担心-成员不只是获得全面使用该卡的权限(除非您以这种方式进行设置)。 您可以选择家庭中每个人可以访问的内容，即需要批准所有付费内容，仅应用内购买或完全不需要内容的人。

The one thing worth noting here, however, is that if you set Google Family to require approval for purchases, you have to physically be available to enter your password. That means if your child isn’t with you at the time, they can’t buy anything—even if you say it’s okay. I would really like to see Google implement a notification feature of some kind where you can remotely approve purchases. It’s honestly a huge oversight.

但是，在这里需要注意的一件事是，如果您将Google Family设置为需要购买许可，则必须亲自输入密码。 这意味着，如果您的孩子当时不在您身边，他们将无法购买任何物品-即使您说还可以。 我非常希望Google实施某种通知功能，您可以在其中远程批准购买。 老实说，这是一个巨大的疏忽。

如何建立您的Google Family (How to Set Up Your Google Family)

It probably goes without saying, but you’re going to want to be an Android user for this, and unsurprisingly enough the easiest way to set up your family is from your phone. There is a Google Family web front-end too, but it’s not as useful. So yeah, just use your phone.

可能不言而喻，但是您将想要成为Android用户，并且毫无疑问，最简单的方式来建立您的家人就是通过手机。 也有一个Google Family网络前端 ，但是没有那么有用。 是的，只需使用您的手机即可。

First, open the Play Store, then slide open the menu and choose the “Account” option. From there, select the “Family” setting.

首先，打开Play商店，然后滑动打开菜单并选择“帐户”选项。 从那里，选择“家庭”设置。

You must enroll yourself in the Family Library first, which you do by tapping the “Sign Up for Family Library” option here. It opens a brief look at what the Google Play Family Library is all about—just tap the “Sign Up” button at the bottom.

您必须首先注册自己的家庭图书馆，方法是点击此处的“注册家庭图书馆”选项。 只需简单点击底部的“注册”按钮，即可简要了解一下Google Play家族库的全部功能。

Registering for Family Library takes a few seconds, but once it’s finished tap the “Continue” button.

注册家庭图书馆需要花费几秒钟，但一旦完成，请点击“继续”按钮。

Next, set up your Family Payment Method. Tap through the next couple of pages to continue.

接下来，设置您的家庭付款方式。 点按接下来的几页以继续。

If you already have a payment method stored in your Google Wallet, it shows up here. If not, you need to add a payment method now.

如果您已经在自己的Google电子钱包中存储了付款方式，它将在此处显示。 如果不是，则需要立即添加付款方式。

Once the payment method has been established, it’s time to add content to your Family Library. You can choose to “Add All Eligible Purchases Now,” or just pick and choose the stuff you want to share one-by-one. Do your thing.

建立付款方式后，就可以将内容添加到家庭图书馆了。 您可以选择“立即添加所有符合条件的购买”，也可以选择要共享的东西。 做你的事。

At this point, you’re ready to add your family. Tap the “Continue” button, and then send some invitations. You’ll be notified over email when the invitations are accepted.

此时，您已准备好添加家人。 点击“继续”按钮，然后发送一些邀请。 接受邀请后，您会通过电子邮件收到通知。

管理您的Google家庭 (Managing Your Google Family)

When the invitations are accepted, it’s time to take a look at Family Management. You can open Family Management settings by opening the Play Store, sliding open the menu, choosing the “Account” option, and finally the “Family” setting.

接受邀请后，该看看“家庭管理”了。 您可以通过以下方式打开“家庭管理”设置：打开Play商店，滑动打开菜单，选择“帐户”选项，最后选择“家庭”设置。

There are two lone options in this menu: “Manage Family Members” and “Family Library Settings.” Let’s start with the first one and manage some family members.

此菜单中有两个单独的选项：“管理家庭成员”和“家庭图书馆设置”。 让我们从第一个开始，并管理一些家庭成员。

Managing Family Members

管理家庭成员

There really isn’t a lot to know about this menu, so we’ll be brief. It shows everyone in your Family, including those to whom you’ve sent invitations but who have yet to accept.

关于此菜单确实没有太多要了解的内容，因此我们将做简要介绍。 它显示了您家庭中的每个人，包括您已向其发送邀请但尚未接受的人。

You can further control each member’s access level by tapping their entry on this list. Tap the “Purchase Approval” setting to set the purchase level available to the selected family member. You can remove the member completely by tapping the three dots in the upper right and choosing the “Remove Member” option.

您可以通过点按此列表中每个成员的条目来进一步控制每个成员的访问级别。 点击“购买批准”设置以设置所选家庭成员可用的购买级别。 您可以通过点击右上角的三个点并选择“删除成员”选项来完全删除该成员。

Managing purchase approvals is pretty straightforward. Any member between the age of 13 and 17 has three approval options: Only Paid Content, Only In-App Purchases, or No Approval Required. That last option is really for the brave (or trusting, I guess).

管理采购批准非常简单。 年龄在13到17岁之间的任何成员都有三个批准选项：仅付费内容，仅应用程序内购买或无需批准。 最后一个选择确实是为了勇敢(我猜是值得信任)。

Members above 18 won’t require approval of any kind, nor are there any options to require it. That’s just how it is.

18岁以上的会员不需要任何形式的批准，也没有任何选择的要求。 就是这样。

Speaking of over 18 accounts, you also have the option specify another parent by using the “Manage Parent Privileges” button at the bottom of the list of Family members. Only users above 18 show up here, and once granted parental permission, they’ll be able to manage the account and approve purchases with the shared payment method.

说到18个以上的帐户，您还可以使用“家庭成员”列表底部的“管理父母特权”按钮来指定另一个父母。 只有18岁以上的用户出现在这里，并且获得父母的许可后，他们才能使用共享付款方式管理帐户并批准购买。

Managing Family Library Content and Settings

管理家庭图书馆的内容和设置

The other thing you can control from the main Family page is how family library settings work. Tap the “Family Library Settings” option, and you’ll see the three main categories of content you can manage: Apps & Games, Movies & TV, and Books.

您可以从“家庭”主页上控制的另一件事是家庭库设置的工作方式。 点击“家庭图书馆设置”选项，您将看到可以管理的三个主要类别的内容：应用程序和游戏，电影和电视以及书籍。

Regardless of which category you choose, the options are the same: “Add Items Automatically when Purchased” or “Don’t Add Automatically.” Feel free to pick whichever one works best for you and your family. It’s also worth mentioning that everyone has the same options here—even the child accounts.

无论选择哪种类别，选项都是相同的：“购买时自动添加项目”或“不自动添加”。 随意选择最适合您和您的家人的任何一个。 还值得一提的是，每个人在这里都有相同的选择-即使是子帐户。

Finally, if you want to remove all your purchases from your Family Library, you can do that by selecting the “Remove Purchases” option.

最后，如果您想从家庭图书馆中删除所有购买的商品，则可以通过选择“删除购买的商品”选项来完成。

You can find content that’s shared in your Family Library by opening the Play Store, sliding open the menu, and choosing “Family Library.” This shows everything that has been shared in your Family, including the things you’ve shared.

您可以打开Play商店，滑动打开菜单，然后选择“家庭图书馆”，在家庭图书馆中找到共享的内容。 这显示了您家庭中已共享的所有内容，包括您共享的内容。

You can sort this view to show all items in the category, just the items family members have added, or just content you’ve added.

您可以对该视图进行排序，以显示类别中的所有项目，仅显示家庭成员添加的项目，或者仅显示您添加的内容。

Content that’s in your Family Library is also marked in the Play Store—you can tell it’s already in your Library by the little house icon with a heart in it (depending on the particular interface, it may also say “Family Library”). That means either you, or someone in your family, purchased and shared the item.

您的家庭书库中的内容也会在Play商店中标记出来-您可以通过带有小心脏的小房子图标来判断它已经在您的书库中(取决于特定的界面，它也可能会说“家庭书库”)。 这意味着您或您家人中的某人购买并共享了该物品。

Other Options and Considerations

其他选择和注意事项

There are a few other things worth talking about here, too. First off, any member can leave the family at any point—they have only to jump into the Family settings, hit the three dots in the upper right corner, and choose the “Leave Family” option.

这里还有其他一些值得讨论的事情。 首先，任何成员都可以随时离开家庭-他们只需跳入“家庭”设置，点击右上角的三个点，然后选择“离开家庭”选项即可。

Similarly, the Family Manager can follow the same steps to completely delete the Family and remove all its members. That’s pretty drastic, but hey—do what you have to do.

同样，家族管理器可以按照相同的步骤完全删除家族并删除其所有成员。 那真是太激烈了，但是，嘿，做你必须做的。

Otherwise, let’s talk about how services work—like YouTube Red or Google Play Music Family Plan. If you have either account (which generally go hand-in-hand) with a family plan, all members of your family automatically get access. No extra steps, so signing up, nothing. It just works, which is brilliant. My kids love the fact that they get unlimited music streaming and ad-free YouTube with our Play Music Family Plan, and I really dig how it just works.

否则，让我们来谈谈服务的工作方式，例如YouTube Red或Google Play音乐家庭计划 。 如果您拥有一个家庭计划中的任何一个帐户(通常是同一个帐户)，则您家庭的所有成员都会自动获得访问权限。 没有多余的步骤，因此注册，什么都没有。 它就是有效的，很棒。 我的孩子喜欢这样的事实，他们通过我们的Play音乐家庭计划获得了无限制的音乐流和无广告的YouTube，我真的很了解它的工作原理。

Some other Google Services, like Calendar, also provide Family access. When you create a new event, you can have that event show up on the Family Calendar, which in turn shows up on everyone’s device. It’s a great way of keeping the family all on the same page where events are concerned.

其他一些Google服务(例如日历)也提供家庭访问。 创建新活动时，可以在家庭日历上显示该事件，而该日历又显示在每个人的设备上。 这是使家人全都在关注事件的同一页面上的一种好方法。

Despite its relatively few shortcomings, Google Family is an excellent service that my entire family has been very happy with. It does a great job of staying out of the way when it needs to—the only time my kids are even aware of it is when they want to buy something. Like I said earlier, I’d love to see some sort of notification system that allows me to approve purchases remotely, but that’s really my only complaint with Google Family. Otherwise, it’s great.

尽管Google Family的缺点相对较少，但它却是我整个家庭都很满意的一项出色服务。 在需要时保持不打扰的工作非常出色-我的孩子唯一一次意识到的时候就是他们想买东西。 就像我之前说的，我很想看到一种通知系统，该系统可以让我远程批准购买，但这实际上是我对Google Family的唯一抱怨。 否则，那太好了。
