With the File Share app, you can create a file sharing library where people can exchange ideas and collaborate on projects. 
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.

Uploading a file from your site's dashboard

Your dashboard is a great place to upload new files to your site. Files are stored in a private folder in your media manager and take up storage space like any other file in your media manager. 

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.

Uploading a file from your live site

You can upload files directly from your live site. This is a good option if you are already working on your live site, as it saves you having to return to your dashboard. Files are stored in a private folder in your media manager and take up storage space like any other file in your media manager.

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.

Adding an Upload button to your site

To add an Upload button:

  1. Go to the File Share page in your editor.
  2. Click Settings. 
  3. Click the Add Ons tab.
  4. Click Choose Add-On.
  5. Click the Add to Page drop-down next to Upload Button.
