How to copy link in Google Docs app?

Question

I've got the Google Docs app installed on my iPad. There is a link in this doc and I need to copy the URL to the URL field in a calendar event. However, I can't figure out how to do this.

I have tried long tapping on the link. This gives me the choices "Open Link", "Edit Link", "Remove Link", "Cut", "Copy", "Paste", and "Add Comment". The "Copy" choice copies the text, not the URL of the link. The "Open Link" option opens the link the Google Sheets app, which does not seem to provide a way to find the URL of the page that is open. The "Edit Link" brings up a dialog containing a text field with the "Link" but I can't figure out how to copy it. I can tap to move the cursor, but I can't bring up any sort of menu to copy or even select part of the URL either by tapping or long pressing.

How can I copy this link so I can paste it into the Calendar URL field?

Answer 1

When I open google docs on my ipad i get a listing off files. If I select a file, a sequence of three dots appears in the upper right corner. When I click on the three dots a menu opens with a list of options. One option near the bottom is "Share and export". Select this option. A new menu appears. The second option down is to copy link. Click this and link is copied to clipboard.

The steps are

1. open google docs
2. select file
3. Click on 3 dots in upper right corner
4. Click on "Share and Export"
5. Click on "Copy Link"
