How to share google drive links easily in emails without shortening


This video shows you how you can share an entire folder with all of it’s files, just by using one single link.


You can have many files in one folder, share the link with others, and update the files in the folder whenever you want.


In addition if you are using emails to share the link, all you need to do is to create an anchor text for the link , which will mask the long ugly google drive link.


But , if you want to add tracking to your link, and drop affiliate cookies on visitors (maybe you share it with a large audience).


Or if you are sharing the link outside of email or a blog, you need to use a shortening tool like the Flipmsg Shortener.



Watch this video now:






If you want to get feedback from a large audience before you share a file/folder you can do it with poll links



Lock your Google drive Folder with a Poll


Poll links allows you to shorten your google drive link, and in addition ,lock its content with a simple one page poll.


You can ask a question, with a few answers or options, collect feedback, and then you can redirect users to the link contents.


You can customize your link name just like you would with the regular shortener.





What is the benefit of locking your link contents?


You can use your file/folder as a bribe.

The google drive link can represent a folder and not necessarily a single file.



  1. Maybe you want to lock a PDF document for download (lead magnet)
  2. Maybe you want to lock a TEXT file, with download links or codes
  3. Maybe you want to lock a video file or a set of clips
  4. Or maybe it’s a download zip file




Either way you can share this link with an audience like a lead magnet.


If you share your link with a large audience you probably want to get some feedback in return.


Sending users to a simple one question poll can do the trick.



So if you have a bribe (files), you can use it to ask for feedback from your audience.


Of course it’s not very useful if all you are doing is sharing the link with a small number of people.


Use the link as a bribe to survey your audience. (if you have an audience)


If you don’t have an audience a good place to start will be by building a following on flipmsg profiles.




How to shorten and lock your google drive link with polls


  1. Go to Flipsmsg Polls - The #1 (FREE) Online Poll Tool
  2. Enter your long drive link
  3. Enter a question
  4. Enter at least 2 options/answers
  5. Set the redirect destination to the google drive link… for each of the options
  6. Click on ‘duplicate URLs’ if necessary, to duplicate the same URL for all options/answers.
  7. And click on ‘create poll link


That’s it!


Now you have a short link that acts like a poll, you can share it with your audience , and collect feedback.


Users must complete the poll and give you feedback in order to access the file/folder contents.


This means that your engagement rate will be high.


After users completed the poll (which takes 5 seconds), they will be redirected to the final destination.


And get access to the file or folder.



View poll stats easily by clicking the button ‘view stats’




Manage many poll links in once place under ‘my polls’ section





If you are shortening your google drive link, why not use it to survey your audience and get feedback in return for a file
