How do you get a public URL for a file inside a Make scenario?

:bullseye: What is your goal?

Getting a reliable public URL from a file mid-scenario without having to set up and maintain a separate storage service for every project

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

The problem is needing a public URL from a file mid-scenario to pass to an external API or app - there’s no clean native way to do this in Make.

Tried Google Drive share links (break with external APIs), imgbb/imgur (not reliable enough for production) and S3 (works but way too much setup for something this simple).

Still looking for a cleaner solution.

Hey there,

files don’t “live” inside scenarios at all. You will need to store them somewhere else.

Something like supabase, notion, aritable, crm platforms could work too, depending on your flow.

Dropbox maybe? You can try OneDrive as well if you already have a Microsoft account. There is one called Box as well that also has Make modules.
