Setting up ReunionTouch Remote Sharing requires a few more steps than simply using iCloud Drive to share your family file with ReunionTouch on your own mobile device.
ReunionTouch Remote Sharing is only required when syncing with mobile devices that are signed into an Apple ID that is different than your Mac's Apple ID.
If your Mac and your mobile device are both signed in to the same Apple ID, you do not need to use ReunionTouch Remote Sharing. Instead, you simply need to use iCloud Drive to share your family file.

What is ReunionTouch Remote Sharing
ReunionTouch Remote Sharing allows your Reunion family file to be shared and synced with family and friends who are using ReunionTouch but are not using your Apple ID. This is done by making use of iCloud's "Family Sharing."
This feature is specifically designed to allow ReunionTouch running on mobile devices signed in to Apple IDs different than your own access to your family file.
