# Uploading files to Media

> Want to share a PDF or other document in your newsletter? Upload the file in Media and link to it via text, a button or an image.

Would you like to share a PDF or another document with your readers? Place the file in Media first. You can then link to it from your newsletter using a text link, a button or an image.

> **Note**
>
> You cannot send a file as a separate attachment with your newsletter. Your recipients can always open the file via a link.

## Uploading a file

#### Open Media

Go to Campaigns → Media → Files.

#### Add the file

Click ‘Add new file’ and select the file on your computer via ‘Browse’. A file can be at most 12 MB in size.

#### Save the file

Click ‘Save’.

In the overview, you can see for each file when it was added, what it is called, how large it is and what description you have given it. You can find out which file types you can upload in [Allowed files and size](/kan-ik-elk-bestand-in-laposta-gebruiken). You can read how to manage, replace and delete files in [Overview of your files](/waar-vind-ik-een-overzicht-van-mijn-bestanden).

> **Tip**

> Would you like to select a file in the editor that you have just uploaded, but it is not listed? Refresh your browser with F5 to update the overview.

After sending, you can see how often recipients have opened your file in the statistics under Results → Campaigns → Links.

## Creating a text link to a file

For a text link, you can also upload the file directly from the editor:

#### Open the text block

If necessary, drag a text block into your newsletter and click it so that the input box appears on the left.

#### Select the text and open the file window

Select the text you want to turn into a link and click the paperclip icon.

#### Upload a new file

Click ‘New file’ on the left. Select the file via ‘Browse’ and click ‘Save’.

#### Link the file

Select the file to turn it into a link.

## Linking a button to a file

Unlike with a text link, you cannot upload a file from a button. Make sure the file is already in Media.

#### Add a button block

If necessary, drag a ‘Button’ block into your newsletter.

#### Open the button properties

Click the button behind which you want to place the link. The ‘Content’ menu opens on the left, where you can edit the button text and add a link.

#### Link the file

Under the chain icon, click ‘Or link to file’, select the file and click ‘Save’. The recipient opens the file via the button in a new window.

## Linking an image to a file

You cannot link an image directly to a file as you can with a button. To do this, first copy the link from Media and paste it at the image. Make sure the file is already in Media.

#### Copy the file link

Go to Campaigns → Media → Files. In the overview, hover your mouse over the file and right-click. Copy the link (in Chrome via ‘Copy link address’, in Edge via ‘Copy link’).

#### Open the image block in the editor

In the drag & drop editor, go to the ‘Image’ or ‘Text with image’ block, or drag this block into your newsletter first. Click the image so that the ‘Content’ submenu appears on the left.

#### Select the image

Select the image you want to use for the link.

#### Paste the link and save

Paste the copied link next to the chain icon. Optionally enter an alt text. Click ‘Save’ and test the link via a preview or testmail.
