Sensitive files accessible with public link??!
I downloaded personal files to my iPhone and saved it to my iCloud in the Files app. I then tried viewing said files on my laptop at icloud.com/iclouddrive. When I double clicked on the pdf, it opened a new tab with starting with cvws.icloud-content.com. I was shocked when I pasted that link into an incognito tab and saw the file load. No password. No verification. Nothing!
Can someone please explain how storing files on publicly viewable URLs is not a massive security risk (let alone encrypted)??? I am used to files requiring passwords or being downloaded and sent directly. When I do share by link (like Google Docs), it's something I have to turn on. What's going on here?
