PSA: Truncating the displayed URL of links can hide the fact that they may be direct file download links. Phones don't have a hover functionality so you may find yourself downloading a file you didn't intend to. This just happened to me a few minutes ago.
Update: on my iPhone, I was able to take a long link and multitask paste it into a text editor, and was able to fully view the link with no previews. I’m sure there’s an easier way, especially on Android.
