The share link can be sent via email, messaging apps, or even shared on social media platforms.

Embedding Files in Documents
Embedding files in documents can be a game-changer for collaboration and communication. You can use Bit to create documents that are more than just plain text, and one of the ways to do this is by embedding OneDrive files.

Embedding a OneDrive file inside a Bit document provides much-needed space to discuss, give suggestions and feedback, and collaborate effectively. It's especially helpful when you need to explain what a particular file is about and what others are supposed to do with it.
With Bit, you can track engagement insights on the documents you share, even with external partners, clients, customers, or prospects. This means you can see who's viewing your documents and how they're interacting with them.
Modifying and Migrating Links
You can get a direct or native link for any OneDrive file by modifying the embed code. This process skips the OneDrive web viewer and allows the file to download directly.
The direct link is permanent and can be used for large files, which is a plus over Google Drive. Google Drive doesn't provide native links for files larger than 100MB.
To modify the embed code, follow the process outlined in the OneDrive documentation. It's a straightforward process that will give you the link you need.
