Shared iCloud Folder Not Showing in Windows Explorer

I can see the Shared Folder in icloud.com with a browser, but it does not show up in the Windows Explorer. I can see the other folders that are a part of icloud (Pages, Numbers, Documents, Desktop, etc). Explorer just does not show the SHARED folder. Any ideas why this is?

Yep, same here. I can see the files I’ve shared on mine Windows 10 PC, but the person I’ve shared with cannot.

It seems shared files only visible on Windows 10 if the files are stored on the same account’s drive which was always the case. We’ll wait Apple to bring shared files to Windows 10 application separately. ☹️

You are actually in the iCloud Photos folder. I am not sharing Photos, but trying to get an iCloud DRIVE shared folder to show on a Windows 10 PC. I shared a folder on my iMac with my Family who use Windows PCs, but they can not see the shared folder on iCloud Drive for Windows 10. On any of our other MacOS machines, the shared folder shows up.


Thanks for responding though. You had my hopes up for a minute :)

And to answer the first question...No, iCloud folder sharing has not yet worked for me.
