Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

With Family Sharing, can I access the iCloud drives of others in the family?

Greetings,


My kids (9 and 10) have iCloud accounts under our Family Sharing plan. Can I access their iCloud Drive files (like documents) and vice versa? So, can I add a file into one of their iCloud drives and vice versa?


Thanks!
