PDF upload support

It reads like Supernotes wants to avoid large storage headaches for itself and instead push users to include links to customer-hosted, cloud storage. Understandable. Makes it easier for Supernotes, certainly. At a minimum, it feels like some connective tissue is missing to make that work as a practical matter but more preferably, it seems this is missing an opportunity for Supernotes by not building native file storage within cards.

To expound on the issue: Let’s imagine I used Google Drive to store these files. File formats could be all over the map, as expected (but PDF’s are included within the concept, certainly). By pasting in a sharable link within Supernotes cards, it causes two issues. The first is the bold assumptions made about the shareability offered by that third party cloud. I used the example of Google Drive. I have to be logged in as the Google user which I targeted for that file to be shared with (or as the owner of the file) or I have to be comfortable with the file being visible to the internet as “hidden” link (which is not hidden from anyone - just hard to guess). The second issue is that this whole house of cards falls down with login prompts, apps launching, file sharing rights, it’s a nightmare. The usability and scalability of using third party file sharing is poor at best. This doesn’t even begin to touch on the additional problem of searchability.

Seems to me that at a minimum, Supernotes either needs to build a whole cadre of plugins or connectors so that these links you encourage, pointing to third party file hosting providers - can at least be launched from within Supernotes to smooth out usability ‘bumps’. More preferably, I would encourage Supernotes to ‘bite the bullet’ and develop support for embedding files within notes/cards natively and monetize that as an add on feature. This is the opportunity for Supernotes.

It seems that PDF upload/viewing is coming soon but for now I need your help.
I have some notes that I need to connect with PDFs. For example, I’m taking a course on plant-based food, and besides the notes I take, each class has a PDF with structured recipes.

My question is, how do you manage notes like that?
I use Filen as my cloud storage, but to use a link for that, I need to create a public link. Also, it doesn’t open in the app—only in browsers (which is a pain on iPhone).

I don‘t know if that‘s the best way which is possible, but … could you e-mail the PDF to yourself and paste the e-mail onto your Card in Supernotes (by holding down on the mail and opening Supernotes and drop that mail onto a new card to create a direct link to that mail?)

Thank you for you reply @isaiur
Is this the way you do?

I use gmail, so this is not an option for me.
On iPhone, a link to an email in Gmail opens in the web browser instead of the app (a long-standing issue that Google seems unwilling to fix).

I would like to know how people do, and if they even manage pdfs with Supernotes.

No, I don‘t link to PDF at the moment - I only thought that could be a workaround. That would probably the way I‘d do.
Your are working in the apple eco system or do you have an iPhone and a windows laptop?

I work on Apple ecosystem.
But calendar and email I use Google

Depends on how many PDFs you are currently working with … maybe a shortcut to open a file which holds all PDFs and you put a deeplink to that shortcut in Supernotes (on a parent card) or on each notecard?
