Uploading and Linking to Files in Website Builder v7
Website Builder v7 lets you upload your own audio, video, document, and image files, so your website visitors can download them.
There are essentially two methods to upload files to your WSB v7 website. The first option is to simply drag the file from your local drive and drop it on to the page of your chosen page. This creates an editable button for visitors to download the file. The second option is to create a button and link a file to it.
There's a 15MB limit for uploading or inserting non-media files. For more about other file types, see Are there limits on uploading images to Website Builder v7?.
