Permanent link to share a file in iCloud even if I overwrite it

Need to share a file by link and when overwritten with new version - link should remain the same. But when I overwrite my file sharing stops.


Guessed if share a folder all people with link could download my file from folder, like in Google drive. Surprise, ... from Cupertino :) If they have such link they can only add folder to their iCloud. I even dont know if they have apple account.


Any ideas?

Good day to you _Dmitry_Sh_, 


It is possible to share a file with people who don’t use iCloud. They would then download the file. 


Keep your files up to date and share them with iCloud Drive


Share and collaborate on files and folders

You can use iCloud Drive to share files and folders with friends, family, and colleagues, just by sharing a link. When collaborators make changes, everyone sees those changes in real time.

If you share with someone who uses iCloud, they can add the shared file or folder to their iCloud Drive and view it on all their devices. You decide if the people you share with can edit the file or folder, or just view it. You can also allow them to add other people.

You can also share a file with people who don’t use iCloud. Anyone who has the link can download it. If you share a Pages, Numbers, or Keynote file, you can allow anyone with the link to edit it.


Thanks.
