iCloud storage - separate folder?

hello, we have family sharing on iCloud storage. my wife also has a business iPhone, which she will now change and wants to store all her data and apps etc... can this be done by making a special "folder" on the family iCloud where she can store the contents of her old phone and not mix with family photos etc?

iPhone 14

While you can set up a shared folder between people with different Apple IDs this does not require and iCloud+ account or a Family Sharing Group. Share files and folders in iCloud Drive on iPhone shows how this can be done.


Within a Family Sharing group the space available in an iCloud+ plan is used by all members, but nobody can see the contents of any other member.


In What is Family Sharing? Apple says

Each family member uses their own account, so everyone’s experience stays personalized and private.
