Yes, your family can potentially see your files if you're using a Family plan on Microsoft, particularly if you save files in a shared location like the Family OneDrive folder. However, individual accounts remain private, and others cannot see your personal files unless you've specifically shared them or saved them in a shared area. To keep your files private, store them in your personal account's space and manage your sharing settings carefully to control who sees what.
