How to attach an iCloud link to a file in the Attach a link section?

Question

On a card, there is the option for attachments. Clicking on attachments one of the options is to Attach a link.

I would like to attach a link to a file in iCloud rather than attach a file. The reason is if I make changes to a file in iCloud or any other linked file then the changes will be reflected when it is opened.

In the attach file option it appears to attach a copy of the original file and changes that are made are only reflected in the copy.

Hi Zak,

Yes, it works well, I expect it will work for most other files on the hard disk. It is a bit convoluted but it does achieve the desired outcome which is to place a link to a file in Trello rather than a copy of the file.

Thanks once again

Hi Kim,

I did some testing with this and was able to attach a link of a file in iCloud. This link always linked to the file in iCloud, even after it was updated.

Here are the steps I took:

* Create a shareable link based on steps from this article: How to Share Files Stored in Your iCloud Drive.
* On a Trello card, click Attachment.
* Paste the file url into the Attach a link field.
* Click Attach.

Do these steps work for you?
