How do I create a shared folder in iCloud?

Published in iCloud Sharing 2 mins read

To create a shared folder in iCloud, follow these steps:

  1. Go to icloud.com/iclouddrive in your web browser.

  2. Sign in with your Apple ID and password if prompted.

  3. Select the folder you want to share. If you need to create a new folder, click the "New Folder" button (usually a folder icon with a plus sign).

  4. Click the Share button. This button typically looks like a person icon or a square with an upward arrow.

  5. In the Share Options, configure the following:

    • Who can access: Choose "Only people you invite" or "Anyone with the link".

    • Permissions: Choose "Can make changes" if you want collaborators to be able to edit the files within the folder, or "View only" if you only want them to be able to view the files.

    • Allow participants to add people: Decide whether or not participants you invite can also invite other people to access the folder.

  6. Share the folder. You can share by:

    • Email: Enter the email addresses of the people you want to share with. iCloud will send them an invitation link.
    • Copy Link: Generate a shareable link that you can send through any messaging app or platform. Be aware that if you chose "Anyone with the link," anyone who gets this link can access the folder.

That's it! You have successfully created and shared a folder in iCloud Drive. Any changes made by you or your collaborators will be automatically synced across all devices.
