iCloud Drive: Shared folder accidentally overwritten
Dear Apple Support Team,
I am writing to request urgent assistance regarding a critical data loss issue involving a shared folder on my iCloud Drive.
Another person had shared an important folder with me and had given me access to it. Recently, while working in a number-related software, I accidentally created a file with the same name as an item inside that shared folder. This caused the original shared folder and its contents to be overwritten.
I have tried all available recovery options, including “Recently Deleted,” file version history, and other methods, but I am unable to recover the previous folder or its data. The information inside the folder is extremely important, and I urgently need assistance.
Since the folder was originally owned by another person, I request your help in recovering the earlier version of the shared folder or any data that might still be available on your servers.
Please let me know if you need any further information from my side to proceed with the recovery.
Thank you very much for your support and understanding. I look forward to your response.
Mac mini, macOS 26.1
