I purchased a 200GB shareable (Family Sharing) iCloud storage plan but my family members can't see it on their devices. How do I fix this?

This feature is coming in iOS 11 (see iMore). From that page:
.. yes, now you can share that data with your family, with up to six people using one storage plan for backups, files, and photos. Presumably, each family member's files are only available to that person, unlike, say, Family Sharing of iTunes, iBooks, and App Store content.
You can share a Calendar with anyone in your contacts list…
Right click the calendar in the list on the left > Sharing Settings…
Start to type the name & select from matching contacts
As I recall [it's been a long time since I set mine up], they must have an iCloud account to be able to actually use it, so you'd add their mac.com, me.com or iCloud.com address.

You have to back out of the iCloud Backup settings screen and navigate to the Family Sharing screen. From there you can tap on iCloud Storage under Subscriptions and Apps. And from there you can invite your family members to share your storage.
