This article discusses how you can upload external files to your website - covering Wix, Squarespace and Wordpress.


Wix:

  1. Click My Uploads on the left side of the Editor.
  2. Click Docs.
  3. Click Upload Docs.
  4. Choose your file(s) from your computer.
  5. Click Open.
  6. (Optional) Select the file and click Add to Page to add it to your site.


Important:

  • Files must be in PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, XLS, ODP, EPUB or ODT formats. 
  • Each file can be up to 25MB.
  • Make sure the file name does not contain special characters (e.g. punctuation marks such as commas and periods).

Tip: When uploading a PDF document, the file's name is taken from the document properties. Even when you change the file's title on your site, the file's name remains the same. The file's owner must change its name in the metadata properties. 



Squarespace:


Open a link editor and click the Files tab.


For text links, click Add File to select a file from your computer, or drag a file directly into the Add Filearea.
