Use iCloud Drive on iPhone

Use the Files app to store files in iCloud Drive, which you can access from your other devices as well as your iPhone. You can also invite others to view and edit files in iCloud Drive by sending them a link to a file—you don’t need to send them a copy of the file.

iCloud Drive is built into the Files app on iOS devices (iOS 11 or later). You can also use iCloud Drive on Mac computers (OS X 10.10 or later) and PCs (iCloud for Windows 5 or later or Windows 7 or later). To access iCloud Drive, you must be signed in to iCloud using your Apple ID. Storage limits are subject to your iCloud storage plan.
