Family iCloud account - can I transfer files from one iCloud drive to another?

I have a family iCloud account - me, my kids and my wife.


Is there a way for me to transfer files from one iCloud drive to another iCloud drive within our family?

You can share files in iCloud Drive. Apple has a set of instruction on how to share files in Share files and folders in iCloud Drive on iCloud.com


When you are sharing files and folder you will see under the iCloud Drive label in a Mac Finder sidebar a folder called Shared, and is a quick way to access the shared files and folders. An iOS device will have a Shared tab in the Files app.


If you want to move them out of iCloud drive into another part of your Mac or iOS device this will automatically cease sharing them.
