                            └─ 16+ character random string

Anyone with the link can access the document. Treat share links like passwords.

});

Best Practices

Use Descriptive Titles

Ensure your document title clearly identifies the content so recipients know what they’re viewing.

Set Appropriate Permissions

Only enable download if needed. View-only is more secure for sensitive content.

Test Before Sharing

Use Professional Email

When sharing, send from a professional email address with context about the document.

Don't Share Publicly on Social Media

Don't Reuse Links

Create separate share links for different audiences to maintain control.

Troubleshooting

Link not working

Possible Causes:

Link was revoked
Document was deleted
Typo in URL

Solutions:

Verify URL is complete
Check if document still exists
Generate a new share link

Can't download PDF

Cause: Download permission is disabled or requires Pro plan.Solution:

Ask document owner to enable download
Upgrade to Pro if you’re the owner

Branding shows on Pro plan

Cause: “Remove Branding” option wasn’t enabled when creating share link.Solution:

Create a new share link with branding disabled
Or update existing link settings (coming soon)

Document looks different

Cause: Shared view uses preview mode which may differ slightly from edit mode.Solution: This is expected. Shared documents always show preview mode.
