Hello Community,

I have the Pixelmator Photo app installed on my iPad and iPhone. Both of these apps save nondestructive versions of images within the same shared folder in iCloud. When I open the iCloudDrive/Photo/Linked Files in just a regular file browser I can see the folder contains all images. However, the "Edited" folder on each individual device still displays only edited images on this device, not on another.

Is it possible to make photos that were edited on an iPad available on iPhone within the "Edited" folder?

Hi Pavel. Is your Photos library storage set to iCloud on all of your devices? The linked files are only one piece of the puzzle - you won't be able to use them them if your device does not have access to the original photo.
