I have a file inside "iCloud Drive", folder "Downloads". I can see the file from my iMac (macOS 10.15.7) and in my iPad.
I would like to create a link to this file, which I can send to other people for downloading.
According to
https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/share-photos-and-videos-mm93a9b98683/icloud
there should be an option for creating such a link.
On the iMac:
I do a right click on the file name, then select "Share". There is no "create link" on the context menu which opens.
On the iPad:
If I click on the icon for sharing on top of the sereen, there is no "create link" either.
How can I then share a file in my iCloud drive?
UPDATE:
Perhaps this is OS dependent. On my MacBook, running MacOS 12.7, when I do a context click on the file in iCloud Drive
and click on Share, I now have a menu entry named Share File, which, when clicked, opens a dialogue, which in turn lets me create the link. On my iMac (running an older OS version), this was not possible.
With iOS on the iPad, this does not seem to be possible.
