I have tried various methods to achieve this but none seem to work. Is there any reliable way of placing a shortcut to my iClod drive on my desktop?
One of the suggestions I tried redirects to a recruitment site from this forum to althetopbannanas or something

Pasting this command into the Terminal window will place a symbolic link to iCloud Drive onto your Desktop:
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/ ~/Desktop/
The link will initially be named "com~apple~CloudDocs", but it links to the local copy of iCloud Drive in your user library. You can rename this symlink in the Finder like any other file.

iCloud Drive can be accessed from finder , there is no short cut to place on the desktop .
Is your Desktop also syncing with iCloud Drive? An Alias will not work reliably, if it is placed into a synced folder, like your Desktop in iCloud.
