How to share links in threads for getting help from the community?

I had a problem with a Motion project and a user kindly asked me to share my project so he/she could help me.

However, I tried to add a link to my iCloud in my post and it has been removed.

I tried to repost with a different sharing option and I get this email:



We removed your post Part of an animation made in Motion does not work in FPCX. from the Apple Support Community site. Because you’ve submitted a number of posts that violate the Support Community Use Agreement, this message is a warning. If you continue to create inappropriate posts, we may suspend your ability to use the Apple Support Community Site.


I don't dare to share links any longer, but I am wondering what is the safest way to share contents with other users that may provide help.

You would have to use some other site with an active discussion forum like MacRumors or something. Apple is very strict about links. They allow links to large, reputable sites, but not to sites where personal information or personally posted information, could be shared. There is too much risk of malware, copyright violation, privacy violation, piracy, etc.


And you don't want to try to contact people directly either. Although this is an Apple forum, it's still on the internet. There are crazy people on the internet. They may sound nice and helpful at first. 5 years later, you realize you've got a cyber-stalker.
