How to use File to Link
Create a file URL in three steps: choose a file, review its options, and upload it.
Choose your file
Select or drag in a document, image, video, or another supported file. Sign in with your Google account when prompted.
Set your link options
Confirm the expiration period and optionally add an access code. Premium accounts can choose a longer period.
Upload and copy the URL
Wait for the upload to finish, then copy the share link. Send the access code separately if you enabled one.
Make a shareable URL for documents, photos, videos, and more
File to Link stores your upload in the cloud and creates a URL for the recipient. You can share a PDF, photo, video, presentation, or another supported file without attaching it to every message. Recipients can download from a browser without installing an app.
Your links and storage allowance are shared with Cloud Transfer. A free account can keep up to 3 active files, with a maximum of 1 GB per file and an expiration of up to 7 days. Premium increases the limit to 20 active files and 5 GB per file, with expiration options up to 90 days. Archives, executable files, and scripts require Premium.
You can see active files, copy their links, and delete them from this page or Cloud Transfer. Deleting a file or letting it expire makes its link unavailable.
