Enable Public Access Option for Files

Monday.com Development Team,

I would like to request a new feature that would significantly enhance the functionality of the file column in Monday.com, especially when exporting boards to Excel or when sending a notification email. Currently, files in the file column are exported as links. However, these links require the recipient to log in to Monday.com to access the files, which poses a challenge when I need to share these files with individuals who do not have Monday.com access.

Feature Request: I propose that an option be added to set file access levels. This could include the following access levels:

  • Public Access: Anyone with the link can view/download the file without logging in.
  • Private/Protected Access: Requires login to Monday.com to view/download the file (as it currently works).

Use Case: I have already uploaded hundreds of files to Monday.com, and it is impractical to re-upload them to a third-party service like Google Drive. A built-in solution within Monday.com would streamline the process and improve usability for both internal team members and external partners or clients.

I appreciate your consideration of this request, and I am hopeful that it will be prioritized in future development discussions.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
