I want to create a link to a folder in iCloud Drive from another location in iCloud Drive, I want the link to work on MacOS & iOS. I can't figure out a solution so far.
Things I've tried so far:
Symlink strategy
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/source_dir ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/dest_link
Alias Strategy
- Right-click on source directory > Make Alias option in the menu
Smart Folder Strategy
- File > New Smart Folder
- Add a new row for search criteria
- Set Document Container equal to "source_dir"
Results
Strategy | Works on MacOS? | Works on iOS? |
---|---|---|
Symlink | ✅ YES | ❌ NO |
Alias | ✅ YES | ❌ NO |
Smart Folder | ❌ NO | ❌ NO |
Summary
How can I create a link to another folder in iCloud that works on both macOS and iOS?
