The iCloud drive is a vital feature for apple devices and iOS ecosystem users. With iCloud Drive, you can save files, photos, or videos to the cloud and access them from anywhere. It acts as an expandable storage device. One of the main features of iCloud is that it can also be used to share files. This method not only holds good for sharing photos or videos, but this can also be used for project collaboration.
Let’s see how this works first. When you share a file or folder in iCloud, it just creates an accessible link to your file or folder. Later you can send this link to others using your preferred method of communication. Once the person receives the invitation link, he can access your files, and that’s how file sharing though iCloud works.
How to Use iCloud File Sharing on iPhone and iPad
You can enable file sharing option using your iPhone with few clicks. To do so, follow these steps:
- Open the Files app on your iPhone.
- Under the browse ab, go to Locations and tap on iCloud Drive.
- Tap on select and now tap on the file or folder you wish to share.
- Now, as the options for sharing opens, you can tap on add people.
- Finally, select an option by which you’re about to send an initiation link to collaborate.
Once you select the method of sharing, the person will receive an invitation link to collaborate with you on that file on that file or folder if he opens that link. He can access those files or folders.
Quick Tip
You can set share options to set permissions for the files you are sharing. For example, if you are sharing a folder, you can set another person’s permission to read-only or make changes.
Also, you can set permission for individual persons. Just tap on the person’s name and set permission as per your needs.
