Upload files to use in your HubSpot content

In HubSpot, you can upload files to the files tool and use them in your HubSpot content. Once uploaded, your images, fonts, audio files, PDFs, and other files will be hosted on HubSpot's content delivery network servers. You can also upload files using the Hubspot mobile app.

After uploading your files, you can organize, edit, and delete the files, or insert them into your content. You can also share files directly by providing a download link to a file. 

Please note: Files uploaded to the files tool are hosted on a public CDN file URL by default. HubSpot does not support the management of sensitive information. For more information, please see our Terms of Service.

Before you get started

Before uploading your files, please note the following: 

• Before uploading a file, review the file tool's supported file types and sizes.

• By default, files uploaded to the files tool are hosted on a public file URL. If you don't want your files to be visible to search engines, learn how to customize the visibility of your file URL.

• You can only upload up to 100 files at a time through the files tool. If you want to efficiently upload a significant number of files to your HubSpot account, you can upload them using the external auth API. Learn more about using the file upload API in HubSpot's developer documentation.
• It is not possible to track views from the files tool. When a visitor accesses a file, whether as a download or a URL, it will not count toward any page view metrics. 

Upload files

• Navigate to the files tool:

• • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Files and Templates > Files.
  • If you have a Marketing Hub Starter account, navigate to Marketing > Files. 
  • If you're using HubSpot’s free tools, navigate to Marketing > Email. In the left sidebar menu, click the More tools dropdown menu, then select Files. 

• Click Upload files.

• Browse your computer's hard drive for files to upload. Select your files and click Open. You can also drag and drop files in the open file manager window to upload them directly to a specific folder or the folder you're in. 
  
  

Use uploaded files in your content

After you upload your files, you can use them as images, videos, or file download links in your HubSpot content. Learn more about inserting files into your content with the guides below:

• Insert an image in a rich text module

• Add videos to your HubSpot content

• Insert or edit a link in a rich text module

When using HubSpot Video in your files tool, the file size may be reduced after upload. Vidyard compresses the file to reduce the amount of bandwidth the video requires when playing. To view the size of an uploaded video in HubSpot:

• Click the name of a file.
• In the right panel, click General. The File size will be displayed in this section.
• To add videos to your HubSpot content, ensure that the Advanced features switch is toggled on.

Review content and templates where files are used

You can review a list of HubSpot content and templates using images or video files hosted in the file manager. When reviewing your files, please note the following:

• Only the locations of video and image files are indexed and displayed. The locations of other types of files, such as PDFs, are not indexed.
• Only published content or templates will be listed in the File details panel. If your HubSpot-hosted content or template is not published, it will not display in this list. For example, if an image file is used in an email, the email must be first sent. 
• External pages will not be included in this list.

To review your file:

• Navigate to the files tool:

• • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Files and Templates > Files.
  • If you have a Marketing Hub Starter account, navigate to Marketing > Files. 
  • If you're using HubSpot’s free tools, navigate to Marketing > Email. In the left sidebar menu, click the More tools dropdown menu, then select Files.
