File links: share documents with a short link
The PDF menu, the price list, the tournament rules: documents everyone asks you for, and that end up lost among countless attachments. With a 1li.ch file link you share them with a short address or a QR code, and anyone who opens it finds them straight away, even on their phone.
What a file link is for
Instead of attaching a document to every email or message, you create a link that leads to the file. You send it on WhatsApp, put it in your email signature, print it as a QR code on a sign or add it as a button on your bio link page. It’s handy for documents that change: one short link instead of heavy attachments sent to each person. The statistics show how many times the link has been opened.
You can upload images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, AVIF), PDFs, Word documents and ZIP or RAR archives. From the Personal plan you can protect the link with a password.
Three examples from Ticino
The lakeside restaurant
The menu of the day is a PDF the chef updates every morning. The QR code on the table and the link on social media always lead to that day’s file, with nothing to reprint.
The sports club
Rules, registration form and medical certificate to fill in: three file links on the club’s bio link page. Parents stop asking “can you send me the form again?”.
The joinery in the Blenio Valley
The catalogue of made-to-measure work is a heavy PDF. Instead of an attachment, replies to enquiries include a short link: the email goes out light and the customer browses the catalogue whenever they like.
