Hello sergiolamares,


We'd be happy to help. There are two ways to "share" a file with someone, you share a copy or you can invite someone to collaborate on a file with you. The icon in your post is typically used to indicate collaborating, meaning two or more people are able to work on the same document at the same time.


If you'd like to share a copy of a document with someone, you'll need to look for the Share button and select how to share your document.

If you'd like to learn more about collaborating on a document, check this out: Collaborate on documents in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple Support


Thanks.

Hi! thanks for the reply

The point was, the "add people" button, wouldn't show up as a sharing option, at all... so I reseted the iPhone and installed iOS17 using iTunes, and after the "add people" button became visible again, incluing in iCloud.com... so I believe I had something blocking it in the iCLoud settings on my iPhone, but i've never figured it out...

Now I need to inderstand if there's a way to share multiple files at the same time...
