Add or remove shared files and folders in iCloud Drive on iCloud.com

After you share a folder, you can add files and folders to it and remove files and folders from it. All participants can access the files you add but lose access to the ones you remove. Participants who are allowed to edit the shared files can also add and remove files.

Add a file or folder to a shared folder

Go to icloud.com/iclouddrive, then sign in to your Apple Account (if necessary).
Tap , then select any files and folders that you want to move to the shared folder.
Tap in the toolbar that appears at the top of the screen, then tap Move to Folder.
Select the shared folder, then tap Move.

If you place a file that’s already shared with others into a shared folder, only the participants of the shared folder can view or edit it. Participants who previously had access to the file lose it (unless they have access to the shared folder). If you don’t own a shared file, you can’t move it into a shared folder.
