Want to attach a file to your network? Look for the paperclip icon or the “Upload Files” link to get started.

Depending on your network plan, you can attach a file that is up to 3MB, 5MB or 7MB in size. Attaching a file to your network in this way creates a download link for that file that anyone on your network (or if the network is public, anyone who sees it) can click on to download.

Please note that not all locations where you can post content, comment, or reply include the ability to attach a file. Most Comment Walls and Comment Boxes do not include an option to attach files.

You can attach files to a Text Box*, Instant Ad box or My Page Comment Wall. Forum Discussions will include an “Upload Files” link beneath the Text Editor for attaching files instead of a paperclip icon. If you need to attach a file to a comment, the best place to do that is with the Forum Discussion feature. Here, you can attach up to three files to your reply.

*Text boxes located in a side column will have fewer options, due to the space constraint.
