All right, in Photos, the ability to copy a photo's shared iCloud link by selecting a picture, then FINE >> SHARE is missing. If you select MORE, "Copy Link" is displayed - and checked - but is not available in the SHARING menu. Whats up with that? Another undocumented feature of MacOS 13.2?

Yes, I was using PhotoStream before iCloud even came out! See below..
I created an administrator account, took a pic in Photobooth, moved it to Photos and it performs exactly the same as described above.
Greetings MRYFLYGUY,
To help further isolate, we’d like to have you check something. Does the Copy Link option appear when attempting to share a folder, as opposed to an individual picture? How about a shared library?

Thanks.
Welcome back MRFLYGUY,
We appreciate the updated information. Next, let's be sure that iCloud is still enabled for Photos on your Mac using the following article, as that link will only appear when using iCloud: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
On your Mac
Open the Photos app and click Photos in the menu bar.
Click Settings or click Preferences.
Go to the iCloud tab and choose a storage setting.
If everything looks good there, let's go ahead and test to see if the same behavior occurs on a newly created admin user, as that can help rule out software, extensions and settings on your user profile: Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support
Let us know what happens, and we'll go from there.
Cheers!
Are either of you 2 specialists able to reproduce this on 13.2?
I created a new folder in Photos and attempted to share by selecting the folder - right mouse click does not bring up the Sharing option (or subsequent sharing menu). I do not use the shared library feature so I can’t evaluate that.
Hi MRYFLYGUY,
Thanks for getting back to us. We'd next advise contacting Apple Support for a deeper dive into this issue.
Have a fantastic day!
