<aside> 💡 “Direct link” makes sense but what are the other two?
Universal Links (or UniLinks for short) are SEO-optimized pages with all your information designed to be shared online instead of direct links. You can learn more about them here. Data Sources are special “endpoints” that allow to get file metadata and other information without loading the file itself. They are often useful when making websites or apps. Learn more about Data Sources here.
