Link shortening

[hytebackup]

Please add an option to automatically shorten links when sharing files.

That is not really an option. Shortening means less security which we currently have. Though rate limiting will help a bit of course, but still.

What is your main reason for asking this?

[hytebackup]

Often need to share files and use bitwarden, sending a huge link is not an option, I want to have the opportunity to make a shorter link

Why is sending a huge link not an option? What are the issues with large links?

[hytebackup]

My main reason is convenience when sharing files through Bitwarden Send.
Currently, the generated links are quite long, making them inconvenient to share in messengers, SMS, or manually.
I'm suggesting an optional built-in URL shortening feature, not a third-party service. For example, Bitwarden could generate short links using its own domain.
This would make sharing much easier while keeping everything within Bitwarden's infrastructure.
I understand the security concerns, so this could be an opt-in feature with appropriate security measures.

That's not possible given how a Send link works.
