Allow copy of a direct link to a specific attachment in a row

Stephanie Pollard

I would like to suggest an enhancement to copy and send a direct link to a specific file Attachment to a row, when there are multiple files attached to the same row.

Hi Stephanie, I agree that would be a great enhancement. You can sort of do that already but it's not straight forward and it comes with a big caveat.

In the attachment tab on the right, go over the attachment you want the link to.

Click the 3 vertical dots

Click "send file"

In the "Send Attachment" pop-up window, double-click on the URL link, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+C to copy.

Now you have the link, you can embed it, send it …

Big caveat…. the link is only active for 30 days (please don't ask me why… I have lost enough sleep - and hair - dealing with smartsheet and the intentional limitations they set up.

I hope it helps

Thank you, C.C.! I'm not happy to hear about the lost sleep and hair ( though I can relate ), but I appreciate you sharing your suggestion!
