When I copy a link, it shows up as text when I paste it into an email, and not as a hyperlink

When I copy a file link it is text only when I paste it into an Email.  How do I get the link to have the hyperlink?

    Hey RonJenn, thanks for joining our Community!

     

    Even if the link shows up as text when you paste it, it should show up as a link after you send the email.

     

    Can you test this by emailing a link to yourself, and let me know what happens?

     

    Cheers!
