Description

Hi! One of my main workflow is about sending links to files to my counterparts via various messengers, placing them in documents and related. Currently, in order to get the internal URL to a file I have to click on the Sharing icon Image, find the icon Copy internal link Image, click it.

I suggest to simplify the workflow and add this icon Image directly close to the Sharing icon?

So, to have something like this:

ImageImageImage

And additionally add the Copy internal ULR item under the three-dots menu.

Start by locating the file action toolbar and its Sharing and three-dots menu components, then trace the existing Copy internal link action shown in the issue. Done means the action is available beside Sharing and in the three-dots menu, with both locations copying the same internal URL.
