You can upload a file from your own device, use the pre-configured online services, or link to a file using its direct URL.

IMPORTANT

When uploading a file from your own device it is best for its filename to be named without "spaces", "special characters", or "punctuation marks". Using these characters in the filename may leave it unavailable to some browsers and may cause unexpected results.
