The instant disclosure provides a gate device and an umbrella sharing system which utilizes the gate device. The gate device includes a base, an actuator, a pair of gate plates, and an identification sensor. The actuator is disposed on a top surface of the base and includes a latch extending downward through the base. The pair of gate plates are disposed on a bottom surface of the base, and each of the gate plates includes a guiding structure and a locking structure. A waiting zone for receiving an umbrella is defined between the two guiding structures. The latch of the actuator is driven to engage with the locking structures so as to limit the movement of the gate plates. The identification sensor is above the waiting zone and disposed on the base and is configured to identify the identity of an umbrella which enters the waiting zone. The umbrella sharing system includes a rail for receiving the umbrella and two gate devices disposed on an entrance end and an exit end of the rail to regulate the loading and
