Where 93 g comes from
USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup, shredded of “Nuts, coconut meat, dried (desiccated), sweetened, shredded” = 93 g. FDC 168586
King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (“Coconut (sweetened, shredded)”): 85 g per cup. Chart
This page uses 93 g (USDA). The two sources differ by 8 g (8.6%): that gap is about how firmly the cup is filled, not an error in either.
Sweetened shredded coconut weighs 93 g a cup in USDA's data and 85 g by King Arthur. Unsweetened shredded coconut is much lighter, about 53 g a cup.
How to measure shredded coconut by the cup
Fill the cup, give it a shake so the pieces settle, and level the top with your hand. Don't press down.
In the UK and Australia: desiccated coconut. Metric cups there hold 250 ml, so a metric cup of shredded coconut weighs about 98.3 g.
