A new LINK file is added to the folder, and its settings open in the sidebar on the right.

You can edit the Name and Description and choose what the LINK file should point to.


Select Web address under Link to.

Enter the full URL you want the LINK file to point to.

Then choose how the link should open:

  • New browser tab
  • Same browser tab
  • Pop-up window

Click SAVE when you're done.


Select Filecamp item under Link to.

You can link directly to:

  • A Filecamp file
  • A Filecamp folder
  • A Page

Choose the destination and then select how the link should open:

  • New browser tab
  • Same browser tab
  • Pop-up window

Click SAVE when you're done.

This makes LINK files useful as shortcuts to frequently used content within your Filecamp account.

Clicking the LINK file will now open the selected destination.


Tip: You can also add a custom thumbnail to a LINK file to make it easier to recognize 🎉
