Creating a link for sharing
Stopping creating a share link is not too complicated. Just follow the steps below through iOS/macOS.
1 – Access the Files application and find the file (s) you want to share the link (you do not have restrictions on the types of files that can be shared from iCloud Drive).
2 – Tap “Select” in the upper right corner of the screen to mark the file (s). Just tap the sharing icon in the lower left corner of the screen.
3 – On the sharing tab, select the “Add People” option.
4 – In the “Choose how you would like to send the invitation” section, select the application you would like to share the iCloud Drive file link.
5 – A page will open so you can add people who can access that document. If you share a file with yourself, do not enter anything on this screen and tap “Continue.”
6 – Depending on the application you have chosen, a page with a link similar to the one above will open; save it to the app.
Done! Now you know how to access your files saved on iCloud Drive without much difficulty.
