How to share a folder of Notes and make them editable between users???

Both are true, because before iOS 9, you used to be able to set up two iCloud accounts on one device so you could share entire notes with somebody else this way. But iOS 9 introduced a huge change to Notes and you no longer can access Notes on the secondary iCloud account.

However, on a legacy iCloud account created before iOS 9, you can still do that until you upgrade Notes (Upgrade your Notes app - Apple Support).

I have a secondary iCloud account created long ago with my work related Notes, and it still works on all of my iOS 11 devices, because I still haven’t done the Notes upgrade for this account. I can keep it this way without a problem as I don’t use the account as the primary.

Note that new Notes features such as checklists and tables are not available until you upgrade Notes, and once you upgrade, you will lose access unless you set it up as your primary account on your iOS devices. So if you intend to share Notes from somebody’s primary iCloud account, this probably isn’t a good idea.

One suggestion is to create a non-iCloud account such as Gmail or a regular IMAP for Notes sharing. Then you can share the account with your friends and family for them to freely read/edit entire Notes on the account, with the caveat that the rich Notes features are not available.

Hello,

When your note is open in the top right corner tap the Add People icon. The drop down menu will let you

select how you want to send the note. Everyone should be able to edit from there.

I hope this helps!

Winston, I don't think that you're understanding the problem. If you set up TWO iCloud accounts on your iOS device, only the first one created supports Notes -- the second iCloud account that you set up on the same device will not have Notes functionality at all as clearly shown in the screen shots from Inflo and myself above.

What you've shown above does not appear to be two iCloud accounts, only one iCloud and "Beneficiaries" and "Personal", which do not appear to be iCloud accounts.

They most certainly are iCloud accounts.

Gee, you certainly like to keep disputing stuff don't you, it's been a year now and you are still at it.

For the last time, you CAN keep notes from multiple iCloud accounts.

but if you'd looked at my earlier posts with any level of scrutiny, you'd also have been able to confirm that my work account is an iCloud account.

I appreciate that there may be circumstances where you can't have notes from 2 iCloud accounts but you simply said you can't.

But your most recent examples of "Personal" and "Beneficiaries" are not clearly shown as iCloud accounts, not until you posted the graphic above.

To be honest, that's the part that grates a little, that a level 10 contributor has to demonstrate that they do know the difference between an iCloud account and another type of account before they are believed. I appreciate we all get things wrong from time to time and I'm no exception, but that's quite a basic step.

In any case, the point is, yes it may not be universally so, but I'm not an exception and people who used notes on multiple iCloud accounts before are exactly those (unless they have done anything to change things) that still can.

Just to update on your thread from last year. Now notes can only be used from the main account

And as was said back then too, this is not correct. Here are my multiple accounts in my notes app.

And whilst I remember, yes my work and personal iCloud accounts were created back in the me/mac days, but my beneficiaries is more recent is an iCloud.com address only.

To be fair, your example from last year was your "Work" account, which we can see is iCloud and linked to an old "me.com" address (which I think is a clue). But your most recent examples of "Personal" and "Beneficiaries" are not clearly shown as iCloud accounts, not until you posted the graphic above.

Indeed you do have multiple iCloud accounts, each supporting Notes. I suspect that the reason you're able to do this is because these accounts pre-date some changes that have been made in the background (i.e. you can no longer use an Apple email address as the basis for an iCloud account). Perhaps older iCloud accounts like yours support this, but for whatever reason more recent iCloud accounts do not.

So, my fault for making a blanket statement that you can't have Notes on a secondary iCloud acount, my mistake. But the fact that you're able to is an exception since that is not universally true either -- many users who used to use Notes on multiple iCloud accounts on the same device are no longer able to do so, and that fact remains today and is the subject of this thread.

Try using Dropbox to share the information.

Create a secondary Apple ID at settings > mail, contacts, calendars (enter the details on each of your phones), you can turn on notes in the settings, this will create a set of notes that sync between both your devices and can be edited on each.

Just an update to this topic ... since I just learned the hard way.

In iOS 10, you can no longer access Notes on a secondary Apple ID, only the primary ID. So this solution no longer works as it did in iOS 9.

The good news is that iOS 10 Notes supports collaboration, so there is no need for a secondary iCloud account for sharing of notes between users. Now the note "owner" can invite other iCloud accounts to see and edit a note, terrific!

Nonsense, I can still access notes from multiple IDs.

Yes, initially the notes from your secondary iCloud account are still there. However, go into Settings/ Mail/ Accounts/ (secondary iCloud account) and you will see the Notes setting disappear before your eyes, and the notes will too. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's true.
