We all use messaging apps to share media and different contents among our existing groups. With over an insanely large number of over a billion users worldwide, Whatsapp is a dominant player in connecting people today. While it allows us to share media like all other messaging apps , the current feature of sharing PDF's has definitely added a little bit of professional touch to it. But if we talk about the issue seriously, it's still a laughing stock if you wish to do some serious file sharing. 
But there's a little work around to save the day. You can use your Google Drive account to share any type of file (photoshop, torrents,zip.... anything that Google Drive lets you upload <3) without even worrying about security issues by proving a simple one-click download link to the users.
Since Google Drive does not provide any such feature till now, so you need to do some very basic editing to the link provided by Google's "Share link" feature.
Steps :
1. Upload the desired file to Google Drive.
2. Click on the three vertical dots on the right side of the file.
3. A menu appears with "Share link" option.
4. Select the app.(here Whatsapp) Choose the contact.
A file hosted on Google Drive has a link that looks someting like this :
