Upload images, PDFs, videos, fonts and other files to HubSpot's files tool to use them in your pages, emails, blog posts and other HubSpot content. Uploaded files are hosted on HubSpot's fast content delivery network.
Before you start:
- Permissions: you need Super Admin access or Edit permission for files.
- Files are public by default. Anyone with a file's link can open it, and search engines may list it. Don't upload confidential or sensitive documents. To limit access, change the file's visibility after uploading (see How do I organize, edit, replace, and delete files in HubSpot?).
- File types and sizes: check HubSpot's list of supported file types and sizes before uploading.
- Upload limit: you can upload up to 100 files at a time.
Upload files from your computer
- In HubSpot, go to Content > Files. If you see More in the main navigation, click it first.
- Open the folder you want to upload to, if any.
- In the top right, click Upload files.
- Select the files on your computer and click Open.
You can also drag and drop files into the files tool window, either into the folder you're in or directly onto a specific folder.
Upload files from Google Drive
- Go to Content > Files.
- In the top right, click Import from Google Drive.
- Select your Google account from the dropdown. To add a new account:
- Select Add an account, then click Approve and connect Google Drive.
- Choose your Google account, click Continue, review the permissions and click Allow.
- Click Open Google Drive Picker.
- Select the files you want and click Select. They'll be added to HubSpot with public visibility.
Upload from your phone
You can also upload files using the HubSpot mobile app. See HubSpot's guide to uploading files in the mobile app.
Use your files
Once uploaded, you can add files to your HubSpot content as images, videos or download links.
- Videos: HubSpot compresses videos after upload so they play faster. To use a video in your content, click the file's name and make sure Advanced features is turned on.
- See where a file is used: click the file's name, then File usage. This only lists published HubSpot content using images or videos, such as sent emails. It doesn't include PDFs, drafts or pages outside HubSpot.
Please note: HubSpot doesn't track how many times a file is viewed or downloaded. To measure interest in a file such as a PDF guide, share it through a landing page with a form instead.
