# cloudSharing

A service that shares an item provider’s contents with other iCloud users.

## Declaration

```swift
static let cloudSharing: NSSharingService.Name
```

## Discussion

Discussion The behavior of the cloud-sharing service is different from other services. It creates a persistent sharing session between two or more iCloud users, and provides access to the original items, rather than sending copies. For more information about CloudKit Sharing, see Shared Records.
