Thanks! And I found out that I can simply replace blob with raw in initial url. :)

That link goes to a GitLab page.

The link needs to be a direct link to the file.

There is a download link available, but that produces a .zip file.

 

So my permalink is https://gitlab.com/dvfu-university/system-analysis-methods-and-modeling/diploma/-/blob/75d7435fd40c49864f7be0f7f8300470502a99f7/Literature/Diploma%20-%20Static%20C%23%20code%20analyzer.docx but it doesn’t work. What I am missing?

Yes, should be a permalink to the file, instead of a link to the GitLab page that displays the file along with other options.

Looks like you’re using the URL to the location of the file in GitLab rather than the link of the GitLab file.

The field is expecting a file object or a direct link to a publicly accessible file.

Do you mean permanent link to file by it?
