# File links

File Links provide a secure and convenient way to share the contents of a File object with customers by generating a unique URL. This URL allows customers to access the file's content without requiring authentication. File Links are particularly useful for sharing documents, invoices, or other files associated with order management, enhancing the customer experience by simplifying access to important information.
