The File App on UniLink lets you share downloadable files directly on your link-in-bio page, giving your audience easy access to PDFs, guides, templates, and more.
What is the File App?
The File App makes it simple to distribute digital files from your UniLink page without relying on Dropbox, Google Drive, or other third-party storage links. Upload any file and visitors can download it with a single tap. It is perfect for coaches sharing workbooks, designers offering free templates, educators distributing course materials, or businesses providing product spec sheets and brochures.
