@debacle @sneak this is only the evidence of macOS making request to Apple servers and exchanging information. Do we know if it was upload or download? Or what was actually exchanged? I’ve found following article that contradicts this post https://eclecticlight.co/2023/01/18/is-apple-checking-images-we-view-in-the-finder/ but what it really was may may never know…

@andrzej @debacle you are correct. the article in question does not contradict my post. read it carefully.
