# Save web shortcuts in your Drive

Keep links to websites next to your files: a web shortcut sits in a folder like a file and opens the site in a new tab.

A web shortcut keeps a website's address in your Drive, next to the files it relates to. Opening it opens the site in a new tab.

## Create a web shortcut

1. Open the folder where you want the shortcut.

2. Above the file list, click **Create**, then **Web shortcut**.

3. In **New web shortcut**, type the address, for example `example.com`.

   Drime adds `https://` if you leave it out. You can also give the shortcut a name.

4. Click **Create**.

   **Shortcut created** confirms it.

## Use a shortcut

Double-click the shortcut to open the site in a new tab. Like any item, you can rename it, move it, star it or share it: see [Create, rename, move and copy files and folders](https://drime.cloud/support/drive/organize-files-and-folders).

## If it doesn't work

| What you see | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| **Failed to create shortcut** | The shortcut was not created. Check the address, then try again. |
| **This shortcut does not lead to a web address.** | The shortcut has no web address to open. Create a new web shortcut with the right address. |
