The easiest technique I've found for getting the correct link to a file is to locate the file in your file manager (Windows Explorer or Mac Finder) and drag it to the icon for your browser. On most browsers, the file will be opened in a new window and you'll be able to copy and paste the URL from the browser address bar.
