Short URL

Make SharePoint Links Simple & Shareable with Short URL!

Short URL transforms long, complex SharePoint URLs into clean, branded, and easy-to-share links. Seamlessly create short, meaningful URLs for any SharePoint content – documents, list items, pages, views, or even external sites – all within your SharePoint environment.

Why Use Short URL?

Instead of sharing lengthy URLs like:

https://apps365ltd.sharepoint.com/TestUrl/SharedDocuments/Company Documents/Documents/SharePointShortUrl_APP_About.docx

You can share a simple link like:

https://surl.link/kWe7fR

Choose from a selection of secure domains to generate Short URLs:

surl.link, surl.ms, officeurl.com, sharepointurl.com

You can set a default domain for your environment, and all others will redirect seamlessly. It’s flexible, secure, and user-friendly.
