Discover the many ways you can share and collaborate on files
iCloud+ Family Sharing
If you subscribe to iCloud+, as opposed to only using the free 5GB you get with your Apple ID, you can share storage with your family. After setting up Family Sharing, you can then invite family members to join your shared iCloud+ plan, so the extra capacity to which you’ve subscribed can be used by everyone in your family group.
THERE ARE SEVERAL ways in which you can share files and collaborate using iCloud. You can even share a folder, so others can add to and delete its contents.
In Apple’s iWork apps —Pages, Numbers and Keynote —as long as a file is in iCloud Drive you can send it to another person or collaborate on it. With a group of people working on a file together (up to 100 people can work on a shared document), edits and changes made by one person are synced with the entire group. You can share a document from an open file; click on the Share icon, use the menu to set whether you send a copy of the file or invite others to collaborate on it, and then choose how you send the file or invitation. If the file isn’t in iCloud Drive, you’re invited to move it there. You can also Ctrl–click on a file or folder icon in the iCloud Drive folder and choose Share from the contextual menu. Again, you choose to send or collaborate on it, and then send the file/invitations out.
After sending invitations to collaborate, through Messages, Mail, social media or many other ways, the people that receive them can accept or decline the invite. Documents on which people are collaborating get a Collaboration icon in the toolbar. Click this icon to reveal a menu that lets you manage the collaboration, inviting new members, changing the Activity Settings, viewing edits made by collaborators, and more.
