How do I attach files to my pages?

You can add an attachment to a page, allowing anyone who visits that page to download it. To add an attachment, click on the 'Add attachment' link in the 'More Tools' dropdown menu at the top of the page. If you do not see the link, be sure that you are signed in to the site. The "Add Attachment" dialog will appear. On this dialog, you can find the attachment you want to add and write a brief description about it. When finished, click the "Add Attachment" button and your file will be uploaded to the site. Note: Attachments cannot exceed 2MB, and there is a limit of 40 attachments per site which meens you have a maximum of 80mb per site. If that limit is reached and you cannot add an attachment, you can free up space by viewing a list of all attachments on the site and remove any that you have added.

FAQ

Q: Why can't I attach a file?

The most common problem is that you have not signed in. Only a site's registered users may upload files, and the "Attach a file" link will not appear in the page toolbox until you've signed in. Signing up for a site is free, of course. Another possibility is that the site's creator has set the contribution permissions to "Only people I invite." In that case, you must be a writer on the site to upload files. Ask a moderator for permission.

Q: What types of files can we upload?
