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 and folders you add but lose access to the ones you remove. Participants who are allowed to edit the shared files can also add and remove them.

Add a file or folder to a shared folder

In iCloud Drive on iCloud.com, do one of the following:

Drag the item to the shared folder.
Select the item, click in the top-right corner, click Move to Folder, select a shared folder, then click Move.

If you place a file that’s already shared with others into a shared folder, only the participants of the shared folder can access 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.

Remove a file or folder from a shared folder

In iCloud Drive on iCloud.com, do one of the following:

Drag the item out of the shared folder.
Select the item, click in the top-right corner, click Move to Folder, select another folder, then click Move.

All the participants of the shared folder lose access to the removed item.
