I want to send a file (ppt) and have a Direct Download link to share. Currently, there is only the preview link that I can share, but this does not help me because you can't see the ppt notes in this mode. Thanks!

The preview page should contain a blue Download button to download the complete, original .ppt file. It's over on the right.

Hey Bob,

Thanks for your answer. I've noticed the blue Download button on the preview page. However this does no do the trick for two reasons:

- if I will send the preview link to the presentation file (ppt), most of the audience will simply ignore the Download button and instead go through the online version which does not contain the slide notes. My whole intention is for them to have and read the slide notes as well.

- even if they do want to do what the raw file, they still have to go through a two step process.  First clicking the preview link and second the Download link, which I wouldn't call ideal. Moreover, if I want to share the link from the Download button, it works for some time (1 day)  and afterwards it throws and error: invalid token (this is the worst scenario).  If this direct link would work permanently the problem would be solved.

Thanks

I can pass your comments about the lack of a direct Download button on to the product team. And I can see if there is anyway to include the slide notes, as well, in the Preview.

If you're getting any Download links that don't work, please let me know. That should not happen unless you Unshare the file. There is no auto-expiration of the preview links.
