iCloud share file option not showing up in finder

According to this apple guide, while inside the iCloud folder, the following icon is to be found in the sharing menu of the finder window, enabling sharing ICloud file links:

This option is not available, neither from the share menu nor through right-click.

I can share file links from the iCloud Browser version though.

Missing Add People or Copy Link when trying to share files or folders in iCloud on MAC I'm trying to share files and folders in iCloud on a MAC (Ventura 13.5.1). Specifically I want to create a link I can share with several people. I've followed instructions that tell me to right click the file or folder in iCloud in Finder, then select Share, then click Add People and Copy Link. But when I follow these steps I don't see Add People or Copy Link. Any suggestions why these features are missing? Or am trying to do it the wrong way?

How to share an iCloud file or folder with anyone, from the Finder? I used to share iCloud files directly from the Finder, Share > Copy Link. Now this "Copy Link" option is nowhere to be found. Where can I the option in Finder? I'm using the latest OS, Sequoia 15.5.

Share menu no longer shows recent shares? I used to be able to right-click a file, press share, and then it would show the option to share to last few people I shared with. For ex: if I recently shared a file via email to my boss, if I were to go and share a different file, the option to email him would be right in the extensions. Whereas now, I have to click Share... Mail... and then manually type his email address in every time. Did they really remove this option? I don't see the ability to add them in the extensions settings. Seems kinda silly to remove that as an option. OS: Ventura 13.4 (22F66) 2018 MBP 15-inch

That icon appears only at iCloud.com as specified on the page you referenced.
