How to share iCloud Drive public link?

Is it possible to share a public link of a file from iCloud Drive?
If not, will this be a future feature? Dropbox and other have this feature and I think it's really important.

  • How to share icloud drive storage plan with my family members?

    I have a plan  big enough for me and my family group. It is not about sharing pictures. It is all about sharing space. In such a way, my wife and kids would have full access to the whole thing.

    Feedback is the way to go.  Keep in mind iCloudis only a couple years old, and they recently changed the storage/payment arrangements, and Family Sharing is new in its present form.  All of which means there is room for improvement.  Apple is usually pretty good at accepting users' needs and making adjustments.

  • Share iCloud drive with family members

    Has anybody figured out how to share iCloud drive with family members?
    I was using Amazon Cloud drive which used to have an app you could download and imbed into Finder, but with OS X 10.1 this is no longer supported so I've switched over to iCloud drive.  So far it is working seamlessly, except for the fact the my wife has to log into my iCloud account on the web in order to download the files.  Ideally I could share iCloud drive and she'd simply log into finder on her mac to view our files and records.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can only share iCloud Drive with someone else if they also log in to the same account.  Otherwise, your sharing will be limited to the sharing options of the file itself, which is extremely limited.  Hopefully they will add more options as time goes on, but for now, thats where iCloud Drive is at, in its infancy.
    Good Luck.

  • Can't share iCloud drive with family?

    What I saw as the most useful aspect of iCloud drive was to use it like dropbox as a network drive amongst all of our computers and devices. Otherwise, no matter how much syncing is going on, we're are always emailing files back and forth and finding a file is a nightmare. Is it on my laptop or my iMac? Her laptop or iMac?
    Isn't that the primary feature of dropbox? Sharing files amongst many computers?
    I am beta testing yosemite and tried it out and found there is no sharing, even though family sharing is on.
    If you could use a separate account for iCloud drive from the one you use with photos, iTunes, keychain syncing etc, then it could work.
    My question is, iCloud drive is REPLACING iCloud, right? So syncing requires our separate Apple IDs, and sharing would require the same ID, so this is an impossible task (to share iCloud drive and still sync our own stuff), right?
    I'm thinking I will have to stick with dropbox unfortunately.
    Thoughts?

    My thoughts are, that Yosemite hasn't been launched yet and that's why we should wait a little bit until iCloud Drive is officially available for both iOS + OS X. Until then, nothing detains us from using Dropbox parallel.

  • Can you share iCloud drive storage with family members?

    Seems like this would be a common question but Apple Support search came up empty. So, can you share iCloud drive storage with family members?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can share they space if they all use the same Apple ID, but that's not really a good idea, because you'll then share contacts, calendars, photos etc etc.

  • Share icloud drive

    Previously I was using an external drive for my iPhoto library and various members of my family with different log in on my Mac could upload photos to the iPhoto library, so all photos were in one place. Can this now be done if my iPhoto library is in iCloud Drive?

  • Can I share icloud drive storage between family members?

    I am looking for easy offsite storage that can be easily accessed.  I have been reading a bit about the icloud drive, and it seems simple to add and open files. Can I share the storage with my husband and his computer or not?  We currently use carbonite as a backup program. Would icloud drive replace that?
    Thank you.
    Katie

    iCloud Drive is tied one AppleID.  If you want to share it, all family members would have to use the same Apple ID.
    The only Family Sharing Apple Supports for family members with different AppleIDs is sharing your purchases: iTunes items, iBooks, AppStore Purchases,  see:   http://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/
    But iCloud Drive cannot be shared between different AppleIDs, and it is also not meant to be a cloud backup.It is used to store your current working copies of your most important documents, that you need on all devices, and keep the documents updated on all devices.

  • How to eliminate iCloud drive?

    I updated my iPhone to IOS8. When setting up the phone had a Upgrade to iCloud Drive option I choose by mistake, I though I was just updating my phone, not creating a cloud drive.
    Since anybody can easily hack Apple, I don't want to find my personal stuff somewhere on the net. I never had an iCloud Drive before, and I don't need one. So, How can I eliminate such drive?

    What to do if you accidentally upgrade to iCloud Drive
    If you accidentally upgrade to iCloud Drive, don't panic. You cannot go back to the older iCloud "Documents and Data" sync feature , but all is not lost. You have two options -- you can do without iCloud syncing, use your apps on one platform and wait until OS X Yosemite debuts. In this scenario, you could use the Clear task manager on your iPhone and not use the Mac version of the app until Yosemite is available publicly.

  • How to use iCloud drive on my iPad

    Hi,
    I thought there was an app for iCloud drive, like Dropbox - but there isn't
    So my question is how do I open a document from iCloud Drive or save to it?
    I am from Denmark, so I am a little unsure if iCloud drive is available for me.
    When I open Pages or Keynote I do not get the Document Picker/File Manager we see on
    the screenshots about iCloud Drive. So.... what am I missing?
    I need a step-by-step guide or some screenshots
    Hope someone can help me out...

    Hi again bobseufert
    so there was this update on pages, keynote and numbers... When I opened pages it asked me if I wanted to use icloud drive - but I still don't get this document picker Do you experienced the same? Just want to make sure I am not missing anything..

  • How to share icloud with family without sharing apple id

    I want to share iCloud with my family so that we can share music but I don't want them to also be able to download my emails etc.  What can I do?

    Your iTunes login doesn't have to be the same as your iCloud login. Use one Apple ID for iTunes and share it with your family, and create another for iCloud and keep it to yourself.

  • How to access iCloud drive on iMac and iPad with different iCloud IDs?

    I have Numbers spreadsheets in an iCloud drive set up on my iMac with one Apple ID, and I have a different Apple ID for my iPad and iPhone and a third Apple ID for my wife iPad and iPhone.  Is it possible for us to access the iCloud drive on the iMac with our iPads and iPhones that have different Apple IDs that the iMac?

    iCloud Drive will not work until you are running Yosemite which is not yet released. Turn it off. If you are running the Yosemite beta, then we will not provide support for you here.
    When you downloaded the beta software you agreed to an NDA and were provided with a special forum for discussions and bug reporting. Please use that forum.
    Posting here about beta software is both a violation of the NDA and the forum rules.

  • How to share a Drive across a Network

    I have just added an external drive to my G5 system that I need to share across a network as my internal drive which was shared is running low on space.
    How do I make my external drive shareable? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Easiest way to share an external HD is with Sharepoints...

    It's just a GUI interface to the OS' functions, but you can also do it in NetInfo Manager with a lot more work & understanding.
