Looks like I have created a real mess. It will probably take a call to Apple to resolve but I thought I would throw it out here.
I have 2 AppleIDs (yes, a mistake made years ago and now not correctible.) One is used for all my purchases (music, apps etc.) - call this AppleID #1 and the other is the one I use to sync my stuff between the Mac and the iPhone. - call this AppleID #2
I logged into iCloud.com using AppleID #1 and went to my iCloud drive. I uploaded 5 videos. There are no other files showing for this iCloud drive. For each video in turn I turned on sharing (to anyone with the link) and copied the resulting link that was created. I later sent out an email and this included each of the 5 links I had just created.
If I log out of iCloud.com and log back in using AppleID #2 and then look at the iCloud drive, it shows files put there years ago.
The receiver of my email can click on any of the 5 links i provided and not only see the corresponding video but also they see the contents of iCloud drive from AppleID #2 including files for which I have never set up sharing. I am sure I have done this sort of thing in the past and got the result I had expected. Has something changed in macOS 14.1?
