access shared folders

If I share a folder can the other person only see that folder when logged onto iCloud through a browser? I've been trying to share with someone and it looks like my shared folder won't/doesn't show up in their iCloud Drive. That's a bit inconvenient if someone is trying to access the shared folder to work on documents within it.

Thanks for the reply. I work with an assistant and it's useful to share client folders. I've done this through some other services and was truly hoping Apple finally came around so I could stick with their ecosystem. It's especially frustrating when you're financing apple products throughout your small business in hopes of it all meshing seamlessly. Thanks for the suggestion though.
