I need to know how to share files on iCloud with non-apple account users. I just need to share as in view, not modify. OneDrive lets me share with anyone no matter what, which is useful when dealing with non-techy people. So, I would assume I could do the same with iCloud, otherwise why am I paying for iCloud storage?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.6
Sorry, an Apple Account is required to share files, even in read-only mode. I just tested it with an e-mail account that is not iCloud-related, and I'm required to connect to an existing Apple Account or create an Apple Account.
