I would like to get links to files in my iCloud Drive so that I can paste links to them in other apps (notes, email, etc) for quick access to these files in the future. I know that I can share the files and make them available to anyone with the link, but I don’t want anyone but me to be able to see these files — I want to make it impossible for anyone who can’t log in to iCloud as me to see these files, even if they obtain the URL.
Is it possible in Finder to get a URL to a file that only works for me and no one else? If I try to share the file and select “Only people you can invite can make changes”, then I have to share the link with someone before it will let me copy the link.
