was on my MacBook Air M1 and got a system notice that someone was downloading files and asked if it was me. when I clicked it it disappeared.
How do I determine who was doing it and turn off whatever sharing allowed it.

Are these messages appearing from the top right of the screen while Safari is running?
If so, a site you visited added itself to notifications in Safari. Everything you're seeing is nothing but a scam.
Open Safari's preferences. Click on the Websites tab and then scroll down to Notifications. Clear any entries in the right hand window. You might find something similar in the Pop-up Windows heading below that.
Then if you want, uncheck the box below that as shown here.
I personally can't think of any reason why I would ever want any website to push notices to me.

Most of the time this is a scam message as MacBooks are difficult to hack. You might want to scan your Mac with the free version of malwarebytes to see if there is any malware on your Mac
Hi - I did scan my Mac with malwarebyts and no malware. I am still getting the message. How can I get rid of it?
May need a screen shot of the error?
Thank you!! Makes sense what you proposed. Made the changes. Hopefully will work.
