You can upload files from your site's dashboard or your live site. Site visitors with upload permission can also upload files on your live site.

To upload a file from your dashboard:

  1. Go to File Share in your site's dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the folder you want to place the file in.
  3. Click +Add File.

To upload a file on your live site:

  1. Go to the File Share app on your live site.
  2. Log in using the email address associated with your Wix account.
  3. Navigate to the folder you want to place the file in.
  4. Click +File.

  2. Click Settings.
