I love iCloud for file storage, but I miss Dropbox’s ability to create a url to whatever file or folder I want, making linking from tasks or EN notes easy. My hope is that there’s some way to do it in iCloud that I just haven’t learned yet.

@bapsi Same. I recently tried to do that for an iCloud file I wanted to share publicly. I know we can do it, but I haven't found a quick way to get the link.

@groomsy Yes, that helped. Thanks! But so many steps compared to Dropbox. The "Collaborate" doesn't quite fit in the view-only sharing thing I wanted to do. @bapsi

@pratik There are issues I take with Dropbox’s approach, but their sharing features were always easy to understand.

@groomsy Sorry, I failed to follow-up to this original post I made and documented this exact finding elsewhere 😅 . Like @pratik said, it's such a convoluted process compared to Dropbox! It's tedious, but it does serve my need as someone who, a majority of the time, just needs to generate a link to a folder for Todoist work or with one other Apple-based collaborator.

I totally agree with you about Dropbox definitely doing this part of their product right, despite the issues! The ease and platform-agnostic quality of that service beats the crap out of iClouds offering.
