Get an iCloud Drive share link
Use this when you want your ATF document to stay on your iPhone instead of uploading it to us. The pass back-link points to your iCloud Drive — the file lives on Apple's servers (which your phone caches), so NFA Pass never sees the bytes.
1. Put your PDF in iCloud Drive
If your form is already in Files under iCloud Drive, skip this step. Otherwise:
- Open the Files app on your iPhone.
- Tap Browse → iCloud Drive.
- Drag the PDF in, or use the share sheet from wherever it lives now and pick Save to Files → iCloud Drive.
2. Make sure it stays on your phone
iCloud Drive caches files on your device, but iOS can evict them when storage gets tight. To pin a specific file:
- In Files, long-press the PDF and tap Download Now (or Keep Downloaded on newer iOS).
To pin everything in iCloud Drive globally, go to Settings → [your name] → iCloud → iCloud Drive and turn off Optimize iPhone Storage. Trade-off: iCloud will keep full copies of everything on the device.
3. Copy the share link
- Long-press the PDF in Files.
- Tap Share (the box-with-arrow icon).
- Tap Copy Link. iOS creates an iCloud share URL that looks like
https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0… - If iOS asks who can view, choose Anyone with the link and View only. The URL itself is the secret — keep it private.
icloud.com URL.4. Paste into NFA Pass
Back on the create-pass form, choose Link to my own URLfor the item's document option, then paste the iCloud URL into the field. Done.
Revoking later
Open Files → long-press the shared file → Manage Shared File → Stop Sharing. The pass back-link will return 404 from that moment on; the pass itself (item details on the front and back) keeps working.
Other clouds
The same flow works with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or any self-hosted URL. The only rules:
- The URL must be
https://. - It can't point back to nfapass.com.
- It should be a stable link (not one that auto-expires hourly).
