Apple iOS 15 tips and tricks: How to share folder or file from iCloud Drive

In this article, we will tell you how to share a folder or file from iCloud Drive.

After you set up iCloud Drive, you can use the Files app to share folders and individual files with friends and colleagues. When you make changes to a shared folder or file, others see your changes automatically. If you allow people to make edits, their changes appear automatically as well.

If you own a folder or file in iCloud Drive, you can invite others to view or change its contents. You can share a folder and file so that only people you invite can open it, or anyone with the link can open it.

You can allow the contents of a folder or file to be changed, or you can restrict access so that the contents can only be viewed.

When you share a folder, only the people you invite can access the files in the shared folder by default. To invite more people to access the files, you must change the settings of the shared folder to add more participants. You canʼt select an individual file within the shared folder and add participants to it.

How to Share a folder or file:

Step1: Touch and hold the folder or file.

Step2: Click on the Share button, then click on Share Folder in iCloud or Share File in iCloud.

Step3: Do one of the following:

  • Allow only invitees to view and edit the contents: Tap Share Options, tap “Only people you invite,” tap “Can make changes,” then choose a method—such as Messages or Mail—for sending people a link to the folder or file.
  • Allow only invitees to view the contents: Tap Share Options, tap “Only people you invite,” tap “View only,” then choose a method for sending the link.
  • Allow anyone with the link to view and edit the contents: Tap Share Options, tap “Anyone with the link,” tap “Can make changes,” then choose a method for sending the link.
  • Allow anyone with the link to view the contents: Tap Share Options, tap “Anyone with the link,” tap “View only,” then choose a method for sending the link.
  • Allow anyone to invite more people: Tap Share Options, then tap “Anyone can add people.”

Step4: Choose how you want to send your invitation, then tap Send.
