Can I upload or attach a PDF or Word Document?
You can’t directly upload a PDF or Word document into your guide.
However, you can easily share these files by uploading them to a storage service (like Dropbox or Google Drive) and then adding the link to your guide as an external link.
Step 1: Get your file link
Using Dropbox
Copy your Dropbox share link
It will look like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/abcd1234/yourfile.pdf?dl=0Edit the end of the link
Replacedl=0withdl=1
Tip: This makes the file open or download directly for your guests.
Using Google Drive
1. Upload your file to Google Drive
2. Hover over the file and click Share
Tip: If the Share button isn’t visible, click the three dots (⋮) and select Share.
3. Set General access to: Anyone with the link
4. Click Copy link
Step 2: Add the link to your guide
Go to your Guide topic
Add the link as an external link (as described here)
Save your changes
