Short /id links vs /id/file_name. Lookup is always by id — filename in the URL is display.

Where to find it

Admin → Settings → Files → Downloads → Download link format

Setting key: link_format

Options

Value Shape
5 (default) /<id> — short id only
2 /<id>/file_name — basename in the path for sharing

Lookup is always by id. The filename segment is display/cosmetic; short /<id> keeps working.

Common problems

Postfix field greyed out

Postfix only applies when format is with filename (2). See Postfix.
