The answer is no.

If you create a provisioning profile with an app group my.app.group and extract entitlements from it, you will see that the group is referenced as XXXXXXX.my.app.group where XXXXXXX is your developer ID, so on another account the group will be YYYYYYY.my.app.group and it will be perceived as a different group by any device.

More info: App ID, Application Groups

Apple recently launched Files - iOS 11 app, Which may help to do this job.

This is little more steps to share/exchange data between 2 different apps from different developer account but it can be work.
